LG TVs are fantastic—from their vibrant OLED displays to the zippy webOS interface, they’re often the centerpiece of a great home theater. But when that sleek Magic Remote goes missing or stops working, all that incredible tech can feel frustratingly out of reach.
Don’t worry. Pairing a reliable ONN universal remote is a simple and affordable fix. My name is Chris, and in this guide, I’ve curated the best codes and specific tips for LG devices to get you back to Browse Netflix in no time.
Expert Insight from Chris: A quick tip for LG TVs—many use a feature called SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC). If you find your remote isn’t behaving as expected after programming (like inputs switching automatically), try turning SIMPLINK off in your TV’s settings menu (
Settings > General > SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC)). This can often resolve conflicts with universal remotes.

Frequently Asked Questions (LG Devices)
If you’ve tried all the codes on the list, the Auto-Code Search method (linked above) is your best bet. It will scan the remote’s entire library to find a compatible code.
This is a common issue. Your ONN remote is an IR (Infrared) remote, perfect for functions like Power, Volume, and Menu. However, the advanced pointer and smart menu functions of the LG Magic Remote use different technology (like Bluetooth or RF). An IR remote cannot replicate those specific features.
No. Even though they are the same brand, they are different types of devices and require their own unique codes from their respective lists.
Generally, no. LG has excellent backward compatibility with its codes. A code that works for a 5-year-old model will often work for a brand new one. Start with the recommended code 3534.
