It was compatible with my tv and works

This worked perfectly on my Hitachi TV, ordered as I was having trouble with some of the buttons on my previous remote that came with the tv originally, put the batteries in from that in to this and it worked, literally a straight swap, identical in every way, really pleased with it

It works very well with my TV easy to use
