The backlit silver remote is comfortable, substantial, and unusually useful. Dedicated controls make it one of the most consistently praised accessories.
Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution
Cons: motion clarity, response time
The backlit remote is comfortable, practical, and more premium than many competitors include, though the cheaper finish trails TCL's higher-end models.
Pros: resolution, HDR format support
Cons: software updates, account requirements
The remote is generally serviceable and easy to hold, with useful shortcuts, but opinions soften around missing backlighting, batteries, and one customer’s disappointment. It is functional rather than luxurious.
Pros: local dimming performance, HDR format support
Cons: gradient handling, banding control
The Magic Remote is capable and customizable, but opinions vary on its pointer and premium feel.
Pros: display technology, response time
Cons: setup ease, account requirements
Opinions vary by region and model: some find the slimmer Magic Remote useful and responsive, while others criticize its lightweight plastic feel.
Pros: resolution, contrast ratio
Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements
The Magic Remote’s pointer can be genuinely useful, but many versions feel light, plasticky, and unworthy of an expensive flagship.
Pros: panel type, display technology
Cons: account requirements, DTS support
