diesel Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Can't make heads or tails of what exactly you're asking either The way I read your post, weall mounting has nothing to do with your question? Right? She already has a Samsung TV and so do you, but you have different models, hence different remotes (am I still on track?). Even if you have the same remote, being that you both have different model TVs, they may have different menu design and options, so getting the same remote for the two TVs isn't gonna make it any easier IMO. Get the same model TVs, issue fixed. EDIT: If you are still after the same remote - try samsung direct or this eBay shop - AnyRemote Shop Edited January 26, 2009 by diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUM & I both have similar Sammy's with the same remotes, Mum wants another new Sammy for her bedroom (will need a wall mount feature but it can be dealt with via a non Sammy clamping system I've learnt ) but to avoid confusion I want to try and get one that still uses this same model of Sammy remote so I can steer her through any issues she's bound to fall into over time. Both our Sammy's are about 2-3 years old now and I was concerned the Sammy remotes will have changed to some other Sammy type by now..... I hope this clarifies my problem and thank you both for attempting to reply and help. regards Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the bit about the remote control?. or are you are getting her the same brand of TV so she undestands how to use that brands remote?

Like you said, the remotes may look different and have different layouts now, and worse still the Sammy GUI menus may all be different. take your current Sammy instore as you may find many of the codes are still the same, meaning she can use the same remote on both tellies.

Only prob with that is she would have to carry the remote from room to room. ***Edit - Sorry "Agelessgoodguy" just noticed you already suggested that.

The A450 remotes look very similiar to the R71/81 series remotes. She we won't have any issues. Wall mounting, most retailers have the Vogel's VFW030 for $40rrp that will suit. Cheaper ones cost about $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
