Seiki TVs use LG remote codes

So I got a cute little Seiki TV but no remote, and I went looking for the universal remote codes.

Amongst all the text it tells you that universal remotes can use the LG remote codes. But it's buried in all of this other noise. Thankfully another webpage at askmefast told me that "Seiki and HCT both use LG codes."

I go back and sure enough the info is there, hidden in plain sight.

It works nicely as a VGA monitor too, with 1920x1080 resolution. The only thing is that it sometimes takes awhile to pop out of energy star standby but it does wake itself up eventually. It must check about once or twice a minute for a video signal.
