LG Magic Remote Compatibility List 2011-2026 year

The first Magic remote was introduced in 2011 under the name Magic Motion. Later, LG shortened the name to Magic Remote. However, in 2025, the company reverted to the original name and began calling its remotes Magic Motion again.

It is important to note that Magic remotes for LG TVs are compatible with TVs from previous model years. For example, a remote released in 2023 will work with a 2021 TV, but the reverse is most likely not true. Remotes from earlier years do not work with newer TVs, and even if they do, they are not fully compatible. For optimal performance, it is recommended to purchase a remote designed for a TV of a specific model year.

Types of LG Remote Controls

LG offers two types of remote controls for its TVs: universal remotes and Magic Remotes.

The Smart Remote, known as the Magic Remote, is designed not only for channel switching but also for navigating the TV interface using voice commands or an on-screen pointer. It provides control similar to a computer mouse. The Magic Remote connects to the TV via Bluetooth.

The standard remote, also called the universal remote, works with all LG TVs. It allows you to change channels and control Smart TV features, but does not support voice control or cursor navigation. It requires no setup and is compatible with LG TVs released since 2010. This remote uses infrared signals to operate.

This is a compatibility chart for LG remotes and TVs. Find your TV and determine which remote control you need. If you don’t know how to find the model number of your TV, please read the article “How to find the model and serial numbers in the LG TV menu,” and if you want to understand what the LG TV model number means, please read the article “LG TV model number search, decoding.” If you have an original remote control, you can check its model number and buy a similar one.

Price of the LG Magic Remote

Original Magic Remotes are expensive, ranging from $60 to $200 depending on the model. However, LG allows developers to freely use its tools to create third-party remotes (Magic Remote replacements). But here it all depends on the manufacturer’s quality: some remotes look identical to the originals but don’t support voice control; some come with a Bluetooth adapter; and others do not support the full set of commands. Therefore, I recommend buying original remotes or replacing them with high-quality (non-original) ones. Also, be sure to check the remote’s description before purchasing to see which TV models it is compatible with.

What the Magic Remote model number means

Here’s how to decode the model number of the Magic remote, let’s look at the example of AN-MR24GN

• AN – accessory number
• MR – Magic Remote
• 24 – Year (2024)
• G – modification
• N – generation or feature
  • A – first generation
  • N – feature NFC support

Regardless of the modification, the remote control will work with the TV of the corresponding year and some other compatible models. Depending on your region, there may be differences in the buttons for quick access to streaming services.

LG Magic remote 2011-2026

In 2025, amid the rapid development of artificial intelligence, LG decided to abandon its fairly successful previous generation remote control in favor of a model with a minimal number of buttons, placing greater emphasis on voice control of the TV. To achieve this, LG’s servers were trained to understand not only direct commands such as “turn on channel 25,” but also similar phrases like “select channel 25” or “watch channel 25.”

The new remote received mixed reviews. Many users noted its cheap build quality, the absence of a mute button, and the lack of backlit buttons. It is worth noting that in the United Kingdom, TVs are shipped with the previous style of remote.

Magic Remotes have changed their shape several times during their existence. There are also premium remotes, such remotes are exclusive, made in a metal case and supplied with LG Signature TVs.

LG Magic Remote Control for TV 2021-2024

In 2021, LG unveiled a radically redesigned Magic Remote, increasing its size and significantly improving its ergonomics and ease of use. The updated design offers a more comfortable grip and an optimal button layout.

One of the key improvements is the addition of dedicated quick-access buttons for popular streaming services, allowing users to switch to entertainment platforms more quickly. LG has also integrated NFC technology into the remote, enabling users to quickly transfer content from a smartphone to the TV simply by holding the phone near the remote. To use this feature, users need to install the LG Smart Home app on their smartphone.

This Magic Remote became the standard remote for LG TVs from 2021 to 2024 worldwide, and in the UK market, it continued to be bundled with compatible LG TVs until 2026.

LG Magic Remote Control for TV 2015-2020

In 2015, a new Magic Remote with a more modern design was released. The release of the new remote became necessary because the television industry had completely moved away from 3D TVs, and quick access to streaming services had become increasingly important. During this period, Magic Remotes retained their basic design; only the button layout and functionality changed.

In 2019, backward compatibility was introduced for the remotes. Prior to this, Bluetooth-enabled Magic Remotes only worked with TVs manufactured in a specific year. Compatibility with older TVs was not always complete, and in some cases, a TV software update was required for the new remote to function properly with older models.

Using infrared signals, the remote could still control virtually any TV, but this was inconvenient, as a message about the remote and TV being incompatible was constantly displayed on the TV screen.

These remotes could control the following TVs:

AN-MR20 — OLED: CX, BX, GX, WX, ZX; NanoCell: NANO80, NANO81, NANO86, NANO90, NANO91, NANO95, NANO99; UHD: UN70, UN71, UN8, UN9

AN-MR19 — OLED: W9, E9, C9, B9; NanoCell: SM99, SM95, SM90, SM86, SM81; UHD: UM80, UM75, UM74, UM73, UM71, UM6970

AN-MR18BA — OLED: C8, E8, W8; Super UHD: SK9500, SK9000, SK8070; UHD: UK7700, UK6570, UK6500

AN-MR650A (2017) — UJ series, SJ series, OLED models B7/C7

AN-MR650 (2016) — OLED: G6, E6, C6, B6; Super UHD: UH9500, UH8500, UH7700; UHD: UH6550, UH6500, UH6350, UH6330, UH6300

AN-MR600 (2015) — UF77x, UF85x, UF95x, UG87x, EF98x, EG96x, EF95x, EG92x, UF94x, UF86x, UF83x, UF69x, UF68x, LF65x, LF64x, LF63x

LG TVs released in 2015 came with both new and older remote control models. It is worth noting that the remote’s design was very practical, and many users appreciated the fact that, despite being a “smart” remote, it still retained buttons for direct channel selection.

LG magic remote for TVs 2014 AN-MR500

The remote control for the 2014 LB series TVs is teardrop-shaped. Surrounding the navigation wheel are dedicated buttons for basic functions, turning on the TV, returning to the previous menu, and controlling the microphone. The remote control is compatible with the following LG TV models: LB63xx, LB65xx, LB67xx, LB68xx, LB69xx, LB72xx, LB73xx, LB86xx, and LB87xx.

The LG Magic Remote AN-MR400 is a remote control for LG Smart TVs released in 2013. It was one of the first remotes equipped with a pointer function, allowing users to control the TV using an on-screen cursor, much like a computer mouse. It also features a scroll wheel and a cursor control ring.

LG magic remote for TVs 2012 AN-MR300

LG magic remote (Magic Motion) for TVs 2011 AN-MR200

The LG Magic Remote AN-MR200 is the first remote in the Magic Motion series for LG’s 2011 smart TVs, equipped with a motion sensor that allows you to control the on-screen cursor like a mouse. It lets you move the cursor by tilting the remote and quickly select menu items, apps, and content. Like subsequent models, this remote has a built-in sensor that tracks the remote’s position and transmits this information to the TV to move the cursor.

The remote is compatible with 2011 LG TV models in the LV, LW, LK, and PZ series.
