The motion-controlled pointer on your LG TV remote activates whenever you move or shake the controller. You can use these steps to hide the pointer or adjust its movement speed.

  1. Press any of the directional buttons on your remote to immediately hide the pointer from your screen. [0:20]
  2. Open the TV settings, navigate to “All Settings,” and then go to the “General” menu. [0:57]
  3. Select “Additional Settings” followed by “Pointer Options,” then set the tracking speed to “Slow.” [1:13]

Ninja Tip: If your remote is acting erratically, try re-pairing it by holding the “Back” and “Home” buttons simultaneously for five seconds until the power button blinks. This clears the connection and often restores consistent movement tracking.

For a complete reset, go to Settings > General > System > Reset to Initial Settings.
