Disclosed is a display apparatus (1) capable of receiving a remote control signal from a remote controller (10a-10n) for a different apparatus (2a-2n) and outputting a converted remote control signal and a control method thereof, the display apparatus including: a display (203) configured to display an image; a communicator (205) comprising communication circuitry; a signal receiver (201) configured to receive a remote control signal from among a plurality of remote controllers (10a-10n) respectively corresponding to a plurality of external apparatuses (2a-2n); and a controller (200) configured to perform a function corresponding to an image displayed on the display in response to a command included in the received remote control signal, or to control the communicator to transmit the command to an external apparatus (2a-2n) selected corresponding to the image displayed on the display from among the plurality of external apparatuses (2a-2n). Thus, the display apparatus (1) receives a remote control signal from a remote controller (10a-10n) for controlling an external apparatus (2a-2n), and uses the received remote control signal to directly perform a function or transmit a command to an apparatus desired to be controlled by a user, thereby allowing the user to easily use the remote controller.
