Best Replacement Remote for LG WebOS Smart TV in India (2026)
Lost your LG Magic Remote? Here's how to find the exact compatible replacement for your LG TV model — without guesswork.
The LG Magic Remote is one of the most distinctive TV remotes in India — and also one of the most frequently lost or damaged. Its pointer (air mouse) function, voice control, and scroll wheel make it hard to replace with just any generic remote. This guide helps you find the right LG Magic Remote replacement that works exactly like your original.
What Makes the LG Magic Remote Different?
Unlike standard TV remotes, the LG Magic Remote uses Bluetooth + IR combined with motion sensing. This gives it features no basic remote can replicate:
- Point & Click — move the remote like a mouse to navigate WebOS menus
- Voice Control — press the mic button and speak to search content or control the TV
- Scroll Wheel — scroll through channels and menus smoothly
- NFC & Bluetooth Pairing — connects wirelessly, not just line-of-sight IR
This is why getting the right model is critical — a wrong replacement will work for basic buttons but lose all the smart features.
LG Magic Remote Models by Year
LG releases a new Magic Remote model almost every year. Your TV is compatible with its year's remote and usually 1–2 years before and after:
How to Find Your LG TV's Compatible Remote
- Find your TV model number — it's on a sticker at the back of your TV (e.g. OLED55C2PSA, 43UP7550PTF).
- Note the year — the model number usually contains the year code (C2 = 2022, C3 = 2023).
- Match to the remote year — a 2022 TV needs AN-MR22GA or similar. Cross-year compatibility (±1 year) usually works for basic features.
- Check the back of your old remote — the AN-MR model number is printed there if you still have the broken remote.
Does LG Magic Remote Work with Lloyd and BPL TVs?
Yes — LG acquired Lloyd and BPL's TV business in India, so many Lloyd and BPL Smart TVs are built on LG's WebOS platform and are fully compatible with LG Magic Remotes. If your Lloyd or BPL TV originally came with a Magic Remote-style controller, an LG compatible replacement will work.
How to Pair Your New LG Magic Remote
After receiving your replacement Magic Remote:
- Insert 2 AA batteries into the remote.
- Turn on your LG TV using the power button on the TV itself.
- Point the Magic Remote at the TV from within 1 metre.
- Press and hold the Home button (🏠) for about 5 seconds until the pairing message appears on screen.
- Once paired, the pointer cursor should appear on the screen when you move the remote.
If pairing fails, go to Settings → All Settings → General → About This TV → Pair Magic Remote on your LG TV.
