Reviews for Remotes with LCD Display

"Well designed Lots of devices covered Easy to set up...Touch screen display can slow things down Expensive for a remote control...If your lounge is home to more entertainment equipment than just a TV and DVD player, it's likely you also have a bunch of remote controls cluttering up the coffee table...You can also create macros to send multiple commands with one press of a button...During our testing it worked fine, although with only six controls able..." read more »

"Logitech Harmony 900 lets you put all your home-entertainment equipment behind walls or cabinet doors without losing control (up to 100 feet away), thanks to RF technology...As far as a recommendation, it comes down to what you are looking for...While the RF support on the 900 is nice, I could live without it..." read more »

"Based on the familiar shape shared with new and old remotes such as the Harmony 550 and Advanced Universal Remote for Xbox 360, the Harmony 510 has a different color scheme and a slightly different key configuration, including two fewer buttons...Unlike the 550, however, the less expensive 510 includes a battery status indicator and guided online set-up, in addition to what Logitech calls Onboard Intelligence and One-Touch Activity-Based control functions...Physically, the 510 differs from the 550 as it replaces the bottom Sound, Picture and A and B buttons with four color-coded buttons that act as shortcuts and gets rid of two dedicated up and down buttons...Like the other Harmony remotes, the 510 requires four AAA batteries to operate, and is compatible with Windows XP and Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.3 or later..." read more »

"The remote control hasn't been around long in the overall scheme of life on Earth, but its evolution over the past thirty years has mirrored that of human kind in an eerily similar way...From its humble sonic-click hunter-gatherer-like beginnings, the remote has spread steadily like a virus, multiplying in numbers...It's a problem Logitech aims to solve with its Harmony 1000..." read more »

"The Logitech Harmony 670 is a throwback to the comfortable peanut-shape design of old, with DVR-friendly buttons placed in the center...It retains the same...The 670 isn't as sleek or as stylish as the more-recent "flat" Harmony models...Moreover, it lacks the...The 670 recognized at least 85% of the device buttons...The interview format on the Logitech web site is OK for initial setup, after that, it is a pain to have to navigate through the interview stuff..." read more »

"The Prestigo SRU8015 features color channel icons with instant access to TV programming...Too many channels can sometimes be a bad thing...Instead of punching in the channel up/down buttons or browsing the electronic channel guide, this little remote provides instant access to your favorite channels, via a 2-inch LCD and white key backlighting..." read more »

"Overall, Intrigue Technologies has made significant improvements to the Harmony’s intuitiveness...Users picking up the SST-659 for the first time can be expected to grasp the activity-based concept immediately, while the SST-768 or SST-748 are more likely to require lengthier contemplation and fiddling before their operation becomes clear...Although everything with the Harmony isn’t perfect – and I’ve never seen a remote that could make that claim – the SST-659 represents a significant jump forwards for Intrigue in balancing the best of the activity and device-based worlds...With hard buttons for practically every common function, the SST-659 is also the first Harmony that can truly be called a full-fledged hard buttoned dream...If you’ve liked the idea of the Harmony in the past but just couldn’t stand to part with your separate menu, transport and keypad buttons, the SST-659 offers an intriguing alternative..." read more »

"The wasp-waisted 880 measures 8.1 by 2.3 by 1.3 inches (HWD), weighs 0.4 pounds and includes a 128- by-160-pixel color display bordered by eight contextual buttons whose icons appear on the screen edges...The 880 is built around activities (watch TV or play a DVD, for example) instead of the macros that power users prefer, but the effect is the same: This is one remote that does virtually anything you want...The street price of $250 may seem high if you're used to $49 universal remotes, but keep in mind that the 880's competition really comes from custom-programmable remotes that cost $500 and up..." read more »

"Blending technology and convenience, the Prestigo SRU8112 provides direct access buttons to your TV channels as well as big buttons for ease of use...A universal IR code database refers to a library of infrared codes built-in to a particular remote..." read more »

"Unlike similar products, which expect new owners to rummage through long lists of device codes during set-up, the SRU9600 manages the "pairing" process with on-screen prompts that are fairly easy to follow...However, unlike the flexible customisation found in high-end remotes, this simplified model is largely limited to the more basic functions required to drive any one device rather than a programmed series of steps required to watch a DVD, for instance...This is sufficient for the SRU9600 to achieve its basic goal: to help you cull those remote controls cluttering your coffee table..." read more »
