  • LG released a new version of its Magic Remote in January with a particularly limited button selection that is likely to confuse or frustrate newcomers. In addition to not having keys for individual numbers, there are no buttons for switching inputs, play/pause, or fast forward/rewind.

    One of the major features of this “EasyTV” is a remote with more buttons on it, because they removed most of them on the “Magic” remote.

    The rest of it seems like a pathetic attempt to enter a market they don’t really care about.

    To create the Easy TV, LG said it took its LG QNED Evo (QNED85A) and adjusted it to make the picture brighter and more color-saturated, and boosted audio for dialogue.

    You can also have it remind you to take medication, and apparently there’s a video calling feature.
