Considering the amount of technology available today and the ever expanding variety of home entertainment options, serious home theater owners need a remote control that offers just what the device’s name implies, control. Stopping just short of launching secret missiles from far away locations and controlling major metro area traffic patterns, the Logitech Harmony One is the most top of the line, multi-functional universal remote to hit the market.The Harmony One is unassuming in its aesthetic presence, avoiding both the oversized frame and clunky feel that has plagued the most advanced universal remotes in its past. The model is both sleek in design with its sharp black finish, and easy to use with a very logical layout and readable button design. The Harmony One also sports a touch screen LCD interface that allows for simple navigation of onscreen menus and toolbars. The device is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems and can be programmed from the internet. In total, the remote can control up to 15 separate apparatuses, giving you a one stop source to operate even the most complex home entertainment set ups.While they Logitech Harmony One is truly reigns supreme in the home entertainment kingdom, its more simple counterpart, the Harmony 650, offers a more basic key to the castle at a substantially lower price. As a high end home entertainment remote control, the Harmony One prices out among the most expensive, generally running a cost of just under 200. The Harmony 650, on the other hand, can be had for around half of that price. The less expensive model can be programmed to control only 5 devices, but offers a similar design and functionality, while preserving the same sense of style and sophistication, making it a very viable option for less expansive home entertainment systems.
