Well, we can’t speak for every single customer, but we’re definitely glad to count PCWorld in our corner! PCWorld is easily one of the best known tech publications around, delivering highly regarded expert advice on the latest cutting-edge technology. It is available in 50+ countries. After choosing two LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV models at the top of its list of 5 favorite HDTVs for 3D viewing (#1 and #3), they also picked the LG Smart TV platform as their favorite in comparisons.

Most major TV makers offer Smart TV functions on top of TV products. But there’s a reason why the LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV platform performs so well in the tests and was chosen #1 by the tech gurus at PCWorld.

Put simply: the experience.

Here’s how PCWorld put it: “The LG Smart TV platform offers the best overall Internet experience.” We fully agree, and would add that the ease and comfort of the Magic Motion Remote Control makes it even better, especially with its simple point and click controls that make accessing Smart TV services on a LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV so much more pleasant.

PCWorld also found typing easier on the Magic Motion Remote Control as compared to conventional TV remote controls. And for people who really want a keyboard, we made a free easy QWERTY keyboard application for your iOS and Android device, which also makes it great for surfing the web.

We’ll gladly take the compliments! So, if you’re in the market for a new TV, an LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV should be on top of your list to try out.

Also, don’t forget that LG also offers a set-top box called Smart TV Upgrader that also provides the full smart TV experience when connected to your existing TVs at home! Read the original PCWorld article here.

Stack it next to a remote with a million buttons and you’ll see what we mean. The reality is that less is more. In fact, with just 7 buttons, the Magic Motion Remote Control makes controlling your TV a breeze. No more squinting down to figure out which buttons to press. No more puzzling over functions. It’s so intuitive.

And the Magic Motion Remote Control has plenty of options, like being able to adjust the sensitivity and speed of the cursor, just like you would with your PC mouse.

The menus on your CINEMA 3D TV make your Magic Motion Remote Control even easier to use!

Follow the quick steps below and in just a few quick points and clicks you’ll be well on the way to enjoying a much better experience with your TV.

1. Locate the Enter/Home button on your Magic Motion Remote Control. It’s right in the center of the device, so you should have no trouble finding it. Press it once and the device should turn on and a pointer will show on your TV screen. (An indicator at the top of your remote will light up as shown in the image below.)

2. Press the Enter/Home button again and you will be taken to the Home menu screen, where you can access your TV settings and Smart TV functions. Then, move your pointer over to the quick menu icon as shown on the image (left) and hit Enter/Home again.

3. Here you will be given an on-screen button named POINTER. Just move your pointer over it and click enter again.

That’s it.

Now you can access all the different menus for changing your settings for the Magic Motion Remote Control.

Speed: Adjust the speed of your pointer, making it faster or slower.

Shape: If you don’t like the default shape, you can change it here.

Size: If you’re having trouble seeing the pointer, or if you think it’s too big, you can adjust it here.

Alignment: If this option is turned on, it will help you locate the pointer on your screen when you can find it. Simply shake your Magic Motion Remote Control left to right, and the pointer will automatically relocate itself to the center of the screen! Cool.

Depending on the CINEMA 3D Smart TV model that you have, the language and the process may be slightly different but all CINEMA 3D Smart TVs have the same basic options. It’s really very easy. Just hit the Enter/Home button on you remote and locate your settings. Everything else is straightforward!

Step one is to download and install it from either your Android or iOS app store. Just search for “LG Remote App”. It’s free.

Step two, you need to pair the app with your LG TV. As long as your smart phone and smart TV are connected to your home Wi-Fi network, this is a snap. After you launch the LG TV Remote App, it will automatically scan for your TV. Once it finds it, just tap “connect” and watch the TV for a code to appear. Plug that in, and you’re good to go.

Search, Connect and Pair!

 Step three, Enjoy! Here are some of the features you’ll find on the menu.

1. Volume, Channel, and “My CH”

The volume and channel changers are self-explanatory. Just use one of the two sets of rockers that appear on your phone, and swipe up and down to adjust. What’s really cool is the “My CH” feature, which lets you create a list of your favorite channels that you can surf back and forth between. Whenever you’re on a channel you like, just tap My CH and add it to your favorites. Once it’s saved, you can always go back with just a few simple touches of the finger.

2. Touch Pad

Use the simple touch pad to access key functions like launching your apps.

This menu works like a normal touch pad on a notebook computer. Just put your finger on the smartphone screen and the Magic Motion pointer will appear on your TV. Now, we’re not saying that it’ll replace your Magic Motion Remote Control, but it definitely gets the job done in a very admirable way.

3. Buttons

Even if you don’t really get into the functionality of our Magic Motion Remote Control, you can go old school with this feature, which replicates all your key navigation functions of the standard LG remote that comes with the TV.

4. Settings.

Use these to customize the app, change your vibration effects, sound effects, and even your touchpad sensitivity.

5. The QWERTY Keyboard

This is probably our favorite feature on the app, because it’s perfect for surfing the web and doing searches from your couch. And it’s super intelligent. Whenever you are surfing or using Smart TV menus that require keyboard input, the LG Remote App realizes it and launches a keyboard on your smartphone. All from within the app! A smart way that makes your Smart TV even smarter.

Our previous line-up of Magic Remotes, also known as the Magic Motion Remote Control, was an innovative input device that provided the convenience of an on-screen pointer to interact with the TV. It’s a simple process to pair it with the TV and users could move the pointer like a mouse, letting them click on menus and navigate with ease. It was a remote control in a class by itself.

Well, the new Magic Remote is not only much sleeker than its older brother, it’s much smarter, too, with some very innovative upgrades.

 The new Magic Remote fits perfectly in your hand, and adds amazing new features that will blow you away!

 All New Design

The first thing that will strike you is that the Magic Remote sports an all-new sleek and stylish arched design. And, the ergonomics are outstanding, making it easier to grip and use. With smooth lines and a stylish finish, it is a truly magical looking device.

Magic Wheel

Actually a scroll wheel isn’t anything new. But sometimes, something as simple as the scroll wheel we all use on our pc mouse, can make a world of difference when it’s paired up with the right device.

Instead of pushing buttons to move around the screen, the pointer and the scroll wheel make the experience much easier and more enjoyable.

And when you grab it and use it for the first time to navigate web pages and menus, it’ll feel like you’ve been hit over the head with a hammer, and you’ll ask yourself: “Why in the world weren’t remote controls made like this before?”

Magic Pattern Gesture

Who says watching TV is the number 1 reason for obesity among Americans? Another new feature of the Magic Remote is gesture support. It’s really not much different from waving a magic wand. With simple arm or wrist movements, like moving the Magic remote sideways to surf to the previous channel, or drawing a V shape to call up a list of programs and contents you watched, you can easily control your CINEMA 3D Smart TV. You can even use the gesture feature to play games on your TV as well. So now, you can burn some calories while having some fun with your TV at the same time!

Voice Recognition: The New Magic Remote is waiting for you to tell it what to do!

Voice Recognition

The new voice recognition support on the Magic Remote allows you to speak to your TV when searching on the web. No Qwerty keyboard required either. Just pick up the Magic Remote and start talking. The advanced voice recognition software is very accurate, and will catch precisely what you’re saying.

One-button 3D Conversion

A new button has been added to the Magic Remote that will allow users to instantly convert 2D content into brilliant 3D. No need to search around the on screen menu any more. Whenever you see a program that you like, just hit the button, sit back and enjoy!

The Magic Remote is where the great experience with your LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV starts. On top of the on-screen pointer that you maneuver with your Magic Remote, newly added features greatly expand the action you can engage in to control your TV. It’s easy to use, it’s powerful, and in our humble opinion, it’s the nicest looking TV remote we’ve ever seen!
