This is the second remote I have purchased for my Sony, the last two, including the original have lasted not much more than a year. The remote works beautifully but I expect I will replace it again in about a year as experience has proved since I purchased my Sony TV in 2015. I placed my order on a Tuesday and received the remote on Friday. This is the second remote I have purchased from this website, am quite pleased with the service and will purchase from this site in the future. I gave four stars because although it works perfectly it probably will need replacing in a year to a year and a half.
