22?? remotes for the same TV

So you found out there is a thriving industry in after market remote controls and that Amazon is not the cheapest retailer around. Is there a question in there?

Yes, says he has a few screws loose. I always suspected that.

As Peter Wieck mentioned, they're probably for mounting the feet. Or, they might be M4 screws for mounting the VESA stand to the back of the TV.

Looks like you bought an LG Electronics 24LH4830-PU without a remote control. There should be something in the owners manual on how to install the screws:

There are plenty of different remotes available that will contol the basic functions of your TV. However, the obscure functions found on the factory remote are often missing or misplaced. Before buying a "compatible" remote, find a photo of the original factory AKB75095330 remote that goes with your TV, and check if all the buttons and features are present.

No, there was never a question. This group is not limited to questions.

Just an exclamation. I can see, 1, 2, 3, makers of replacement remotes, but more than that they're just cutting into each other's business. How many people need a replacement anyhow.

I needed extra remotes for my DVDR because rather than carry it around the house, I wanted one for the bedroom, bathroom, office, kitchen, and basement. Wherever tvs were that could control the DVDR. I settled for one on each floor. But after 10 years, one broke, so I bought a non-Philips but designed to have every function the original has.

Howecver it isn't of value to have a remote in any room except where the tv is, so how many can one need?

One for you, one for your wife and one lost in the couch. That's 3 right there. ;-)

I seem to have accumulated a shoe box full of remotes over the years other than the stock one, trying to find one that will run all my stuff. The best is a full learning one that you can assign any button to any function. The one in the back room even runs the Mini Split AC. Since I got rid of 2 Dish boxes, a DVD player and my Replay TV, I am doing OK with the one that comes with my TiVo in the living room (it runs the TV OK) and I have a wireless desk top for the PC under the TV. Between the main TiVo box and 2 Minis, I do have a half dozen TiVo remotes tho. We do have an RF remote in the bedroom that runs the living room TiVo and there is an HDMI cable to the bedroom TV. When the kids are here, I put that mini in their room. Having control of the living room TiVo lets us run it for the bedroom TV. That was actually set up before I bought the minis.

Why should they care if they're cutting into each other's business? In any kind of saturated market, that's the only way to get ahead.

You'd be surprised. My husband didn't like the remote that came with our TV, so we bought an aftermarket unit. The one that came with the TV is in a drawer somewhere.

In fact, we bought two different aftermarket remotes before he found one he liked.

I have a couple of them too in that shoebox of remotes

My problem with most of them is there are to many buttons and the ones on them are tiny. Most of the time you only use a few. That was why I didn'y like the Harmony. Too many tiny little buttons. I suppose if you keep your house lit up like Kmart it is OK but we keep it pretty dark around here. Chunghop has some nice ones, big buttons and everyone is programmable, learning from the OEM remote, whatever it is. It even runs the mini split AC out in the back room.
