The magic remote kind of ruins my LG TV for me. I like the UI, but hate that bumping my remote brings up that darn cursor that flies around the screen.


It's switched on after powering up the TV, but then I just press twice the down-arrow on the remote and then the cursor disappears and appears only if I use the scroll wheel (which I never do)... .


Really? For the the cursor appears every single time I touch the remote. There is no disabling it.


Ok, I just doublechecked and I must state that the cursor does appear again if I shake violently the remote (never noticed this since I bought the TV hehe) - if I just move it, put it into my pocket and run with it etc... it does not appear. (btw my TV model is "OLED55C6V", not sure if it's relevant, just fyi)

Maybe it's a matter about setting the cursor "sensitivity" (or something similar)? In the "[TV options] -> Accessibility -> Pointer Options -> Tracking speed" mine is currently set to "slow". I did set it to "high" but in my case it did not make any difference (once I pushed twice the down/up arrow keys it did not reappear unless I actively shaked the remote)... :(

I did install all SW-updates that were available so far for that TV, but I had the same behaviour already in its original "unboxed" state... .
