If you need a remote control for your Samsung TV you can use the official spare parts website (remote controls). You should also know that there are two names for the remote control. For example, TM2180E is a marketing name and there is a part number that is BN59-01357A. Samsung recommends looking for a new remote control using the part number.
Types of Samsung Remote Controls
One remote and universal remote
Samsung TV remote controls are divided into two types: standard or Smart (One Remote).

How Samsung remote controls work – smart and universal
Standard remote control – controls the TV using infrared radiation. It supports all TV controls except voice control. These remotes are less convenient to use. But their advantage is that you can buy any remote and it will work with your TV as long as it is manufactured in 2012-2021.
Also, the standard remote allows you to enter the hidden menu of the TV to control the settings at the operating system level. This option is for service technicians.
One Remote, Smart remote control – This remote control communicates with the TV using infrared and Bluetooth. Bluetooth is used to control the TV with voice commands and to search for information on the Internet. The Smart Remote Control is more user-friendly, it can receive voice commands and then transmit them to the TV. For Series 6,7,8 TVs with regular screens, the Smart remote control comes without a microphone because these TVs do not support voice control.
Samsung replacement remote controls for TVs
There are many remotes available as replacements for the original remote control. These remotes are made by third-party companies, these remotes may not support all the functionality of the original remote. If your remote control costs about 20 dollars or less, it most likely does not have Bluetooth and only works in the infrared range. The cost of the original Smart remote control is about $50-60.
Samsung Remote Control Model Numbers
As I said before, there are two types of Samsung TV remote control model numbers
Commercial model number of the remote control TV Samsung – this designation is for Smart remotes TM1950A, TM1950B, TM1950C, standard remotes M1240A or Universal so remote control Samsung called on the official Samsung website in the description of the TV.
The model number or part number can be found on the remote control, this model number looks like BN59-01266A. Remotes are sold with these model numbers in stores.
Samsung Smart Remote, Samsung One remote compatibility list
The appearance of the remote control for Samsung TVs has not changed in recent years. Minor changes are possible, for example, separate buttons can be added to call the most frequently used applications. In 2021, a solar cell was built into the remote control to recharge the batteries of the remote control.
Compatible remotes from different years – all remotes from 2017 onwards are interchangeable and can control basic TV functions regardless of the year of manufacture. Before 2016 remotes are not interchangeable, you need to look for a specific remote control model compatible with your TV. Infrared beams are used to turn the TV on or off, then the smart remote control works using bluetooth.
