I have an LG remote and hate it. Why do I need to use an onscreen pointer to switch inputs?

I like their OLED, but mostly I chose LG more because I was voting against the other guys who are worse.

I've got an old one (C7) and you don't have to use the pointer for most things; switching inputs definitely works with just the cursor arrows.

The new remote is abysmal, though. I guess I need to get my hands on a 2024 model before this one blows up, contrary to what I planned originally.

I had an LG TV and it developed a terrible blue tint after 2 years because LG used low quality backlight LEDs. So now I am avoiding LG. It's the only TV I've had in my life that deteriorated. I am still using an 18 year old Sony in another room which is still as good as new.
