The shape is dumb
The buttons hard to see in the dark, especially volume
That stupid cursor on the screen that makes the Wiimote look like a gift from God

I have a better remote but somehow lost it and am stuck using this pos. You'd think expensive OLED TVs would include a decent remote.

I can't believe glow-in-the-dark buttons aren't the norm for current day remotes. <_<

I don't think I've ever used those dedicated buttons. Or the 4 colorful buttons on any remote. Don't know what the even do lol

Previous year models were shaped like a torpedo. If they had lighted buttons it would be more tolerable. The other remote I have lights up when it moves so is super easy to find.

I put a glow in the dark skin on mine that makes it even more hideous, but it's actually slightly easier to feel where the buttons are by using it as a guide. Plus it's easier to spot in a dark room. Still hate it.

They're good panels and all. And the remote can always be replaced.

Some people may like them idk

I don't hate the remote, I just hate how touchy the cursor is. You hit enter and 70% of the time the cursor comes up.

Oh and some buttons turn the TV on, some don't. Only the power button should turn the dang TV on, not my dog casually laying on it

Turn it off? I know it goes away if you start manually selecting things with the arrow buttons. It sometimes pops up for whatever reason making me feel obligated to use it for a couple seconds.

Like whenever I hit the settings or home buttons the cursor reappears, begging me to use it.
