AA81-00243A Replaced Service Remote Control Applicable for Samsung TV

Seems like a small price to pay for overriding annoying factory settings which standard Samsung remotes can't access, such as menus that stay on screen too long. WARNING: Consult online tutorials carefully, and use caution not to void the warranty.

I run my M80 on game mode all the time and each time the display is powered on, it insisted on displaying not one but two popups that take 20 seconds to disappear on their own or an explicit use of the remote to dismiss them.The service remote allowed me to get into the lower level menus and thankfully disable the popup permanently!

Works on my G8 monitor to remove the OSD bootup screen.

This service remote did what the - in my opinion awful original remote coudl never do - turn off ambient light detection and keep it off. All four options for Picture now are bright and clear where Standard and Natural were usless for a year with ALD stuck on in the Eco menu.I know it sounds like an operator error but we'd turn it off. exit the menu and it was right back on. Off now and hope it stays that way.Not sure what other options you can control with this - mostly our tv ignored interetsing buton prresses on it but worth every cent to get half our viewing modes back. Takes 2 AAA batteries and worked with no issues or special sequcnes requried on our Samsung 55" 7500 TV.

Used this to access the factory menu and turn off the game bar of my Samsung G70B. Works great no problems.

You will still need to enter mute-1-1-9-enter to get to the Hospitality menu but this remote will properly navigate and set menu items unlike a normal remote which only accesses the first item. Menus are still limited so the potential for damage is much less than on a LG which you can potentially mess up the TV much easier. Remember to power off and on, only then will the new setting take place. I used it mostly to lower the maximum volume setting. One problem occurs but it is not the remotes problem but the TV's. Your TV will reset to vivid mode for the picture you have reset back to natural. Some units will then use the settings as before and other need all the picture settings readjusted, only used on 2 units, different lines and years. Both changed to vivid mode but non-picture settings remain unchanged.Additional settings are available too but I did not need them. Search youtube for a video of those options since this review is only for using the remote itself and what to expect.

DOES NOT WORK!!Anyone directing you here to this remote so you can access the hidden settings for the samsung g8 oddyessey monitor is LYING to you!This remote DOES NOT DO WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO!!I jsut got the remote, factory button: not supoprt. tools button? Not supported.I curse Samsung for what they did for a great monitor, but screwed the consumers over by making it COMPLETELY NON user friendly, forcing you to have timers pop up and such taht you cannot turn off. Eff Samsung completely!

This is an excellent Service Remote for most Samsung TVs. Gives you the option of changing the source input. Reasonable price!
