Iniisip ko kasi pag ginamit ko original remote ngayon then 5 years later nasira, baka hindi na available sa shopee yung clone nya since it will be an old model that time. Same with my soundbar, may function sya na sa remote lang makikita.
personally,
if i had the clone, i'd keep it and use the original.
when the original breaks down, i'd hie over to the AD and buy a replacement. if there ain't no replacement, then i'd use the kept clone.

there is a chance that by the time the remote breaks down, i would already be looking for a more modern replacement monitor.
