Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony 1100 Universal Remote with Color Touch ScreenDigital camera Review: "Logitech" + "Harmony" = outstanding and intuitive remote. What's left is deciding which one best suits your particular needs. Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It's difficult to pen a review for this specific model without a few blanket qualifiers, even as they too may be relatively subjective in nature. First, Logitech is at the top of the game when it comes to universal remotes. The entire Harmony line, particularly the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote, and now the 1100 Advanced, are brilliant and intuitive works of art, ergonomics, and technical engineering. If you have a computer, can install simple software, and follow clear and linear instructions, then you can program and make use of these remotes in measures of minutes, rather than hours. The days of "try code 110110101, if that doesn't work try code 110110100, if that doesn't work try...' are long since gone. Read the model numbers off of the equipment you want to control, plug that into the software when prompted, allow the software to synch with the remote, disconnect it and give it a go. It's really that easy.
The 1100 is a bit of a departure from the One, at least in terms of form. While the One has the relatively familiar 'handshake' position in your grip, the 1100 is a two-handed experience. There are positives and negatives to this, of course, and your mileage may vary in terms of which is more suited to your needs. I find the off-screen button functions and single-handed usage of the One particularly helpful in the dark, if I'm fumbling trying to turn the television off if I had fallen asleep watching something at night (my wife loves it when I do that). The 1100 is better suited to riding a coffee table where the users are going be a little more conscious and fingers a little more precise. Of course there's more to the 1100 -- the larger screen, the customizable menu buttons, but that's all right above in the product description.
The bottom line here is relatively simple; you would be very hard-pressed to find an all-around 'better' universal remote than the current generation of Harmony models. Most of the reviews you'll see (including my own on the page for the Harmony One) extol the the virtues of both the interface, the software (yes, I agree it would be nice if they wouldn't require a second login for a second remote -- I bet we get a patch down the road), the design of the remotes themselves, even the terrific packaging it all comes in. What I obviously feel is left to talk about is how it fits in the hand, and the circumstances under which each lends itself to ease of use. Consider where and how you'll use the remote, consider the feature chart on the page (particularly in regards to the expandable RF capacity of this model), and then pick the model that best suits your need. You've already accomplished the most important part of the process, and that's finding the Logitech Harmony line itself. With that done, you can now do little to no wrong.
Summary of Logitech Harmony 1100 Universal Remote with Color Touch ScreenThe Logitech Harmony 1100 gives you powerful home-entertainment control through a customizable, 3.5-inch full-color touch screen. Controls are easy to access and are backlit, so you can easily find them in the dark. One-touch, activity-based controls turn on the right devices in the right order with a single command. RF wireless capability lets you control devices without direct line-of-sight, so you can keep components in a closed cabinet or even another room (requires Logitech Harmony RF Extender, sold separately). The on-screen commands are customizable, so you get the commands you want, when you want them. The Harmony 1100 supports more than 5000 brands and over 225,000 devices.
