I have 2 TCL Roku TVs in the same room; how to unpair remotes?

I'm using one of the TCL Roki TVs as a computer monitor, and the other as a stand alone TV.

 

When I try to change something on one (power, volume, app), it does the same to the other TV at the same time.  Is there a way to "unpair" so each remote is only identified by the TV I purchased it with? Hoping for a simpler option than returning one of the 2 TVs for a TV from another brand.

TCL - 50" Class 4-Series 4K UHD HDR Smart Roku TV

 

Model:50S45
SKU:6514455

You can abandon the IR remotes included with tv, switch both to wifi voice remotes which only control one Roku device at a time.

Thanks! When you say wifi, do you mean using the Roku app? Or something else? Haven’t heard of wifi voice remotes before

Either of the Roku Voice Remotes will pair to one and only one Roku TV at a time.

Thanks so much - hadn’t realized those existed until just now.  Ordered!

Very Simple. Download the Roku app on your phone, and you can then operate each individually. I actually have an old phone that I use for this.
