22?? remotes for the same TV

I just bougbta little smart TV and I was looking to figure out what those 4 little black machine screws that they gave me were for, and I saw an entry in Amazon for remote controls for my model.

Fine, but there are 24 separate entries in the list, and the first 3 I looked at had different "brand"s. How can there be between 3 and 24 manufacturers of the same remote control?

4 or moe are listed as Replacement, 1 or more as Replace, 3 as For, a couple as Replaced, and 1 or more as Original.

I think they all look just line mine!! Except thie one, which doens't actually mention my model number and is labeled Compatible with LG.

My button labeled Picture is labeled Netflix,and Sound is labeled Amazon and 2 or 3 other smaller changes.

BTW, the listing for the TV itself is quite interesting.

Which has 3 for sale,

$172.99 Used - Like New $299.99 New $379.99 Used - Like New Brand new

It originally sold on Amazon for $300 (based on a review of 3 small tvs, that pointed all 3 to Amazon.)

So the first one is cheaper because it's used. The second is the original price And the 3rd 379 and can't decide if it's new or used!!!

But get this, Abt has the same thing, NEW, for $157

The screws are to mount the feet.

As Peter Wieck mentioned, they're probably for mounting the feet. Or, they might be M4 screws for mounting the VESA stand to the back of the TV.

Looks like you bought an LG Electronics 24LH4830-PU without a remote control. There should be something in the owners manual on how to install the screws:

There are plenty of different remotes available that will contol the basic functions of your TV. However, the obscure functions found on the factory remote are often missing or misplaced. Before buying a "compatible" remote, find a photo of the original factory AKB75095330 remote that goes with your TV, and check if all the buttons and features are present. However, LG is unique in that their TV remotes tend to work on all their similar model LG TV's. Some replacement remote control makers add buttons for specfic features, like Netflix, but the other functions are usually there. If they all seem to look the same, it might be because they are all the same.
