Best universal remote for your TVs: which one covers them
Any GE, UltraPro or Jasco-made Philips remote on code list CL4, CL5 or CL6, and any RCA remote on revision R341U1, R271U1 or R271U2, has a code for all 12 of these TV brands: Samsung, Vizio, LG, TCL, Hisense, Roku TV, Insignia, Element, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, Westinghouse. Only Roku TV is missing, from Jasco's CL3 list and RCA's R3F802. Below are three remotes that use these lists, and a table of how many TV brands each list covers, from 179 to 362.

GE or RCA: which list fits your TVs
For the 12 brands here, both work. The difference is the long tail: RCA's R271U1 has codes for 362 TV brands, while Jasco's lists cover 196 to 283. If you own a less common brand, look it up first in the A to Z of every brand, which shows which lists carry it. Own a Roku TV? The RCA RCR504BE is the pick whose list you can confirm before delivery; the oldest Jasco list, CL3, has no Roku TV row. How many brands each version adds or drops is on code list versions compared.
Check your TVs
Tick your brands to see which lists have a code for all of them. Of these 12, only Roku TV is missing from any list. The 7 rows below show each list's total.
A listed code is a starting point, not a guarantee that your TV model or every button works. Test power, volume, input and menu before discarding the original remote.
These Amazon links search each maker's remotes. A search shows several models, and a listing may not name the code list version, so check the details below before you buy.

Check these details before checkout
- Code list version: it is printed inside the battery compartment, so you see it after delivery. For RCA, the model number tells you sooner: RCA prints the revision on each model's code list sheet (RCR504BE is R271U1, RCTC8GB is R341U1, RCR313BE is R3F802). Every model is in the RCA model table.
- Number of devices: count your TV, soundbar and other equipment, then match the remote's device buttons.
- Infrared or radio frequency: Jasco says its infrared universal remotes do not control Roku Streaming Sticks or Amazon Fire TV devices that use radio frequency. A Roku TV code is not a Streaming Stick code.
- Working buttons: a code list records candidate codes. It does not prove app shortcuts, voice control or every TV function will work.
If you already own a remote, try its automatic code search before buying a replacement.
