Logitech’s Harmony 550 Universal Remote Control is a step up from their 510 brand. And the additional features all well worth the $84.00. First of all, the Harmony 550 features a sleek, slimming remote control which is most likely a lot nicer to look at than the five clunky remotes sitting on your coffee table. It uses an LCD screen that is easy to read and understand as well as a Windows/Mac set up guide to help those with installation and programming. This remote is currently on sale for $45 off on Amazon through this link. They only have 12 listed in stock at the moment so hurry if you plan to buy it.

Let’s take a look at the remotes technical specs:

• Compatible with TVs, sound systems, and DVD players/recorders from over 3,000 electronics manufacturers
• Replace up to 15 remote control devices.
• Sound and Picture convenience buttons help you change picture aspect ratios and sound modes.
• Connect via Windows/Mac PCs to receive updates, configure remote.
