4 Tips for Purchasing a Universal Remote

Looking into buying a new universal remote? There are a lot of options to choose from, and knowing what different models are capable of and how they fit your individual home media needs can make selecting the right remote for you much easier. When shopping for your new remote, keep these 4 things in mind:

  1. Figure out the number of devices – Not all universal remotes can handle more than one device. Before buying a remote, figure out how many appliances you want to use the remote for. If you’re planning on using it to control more than just the TV, look for a remote that can be programed for multiple devices at once.
  2. Check compatibility – Just like some remotes can’t be used for multiple devices at the same time, some remotes aren’t compatible with every device. Some only work with certain brands, while others can’t handle certain appliances like DVRs. When selecting a remote, make sure that it’s compatible with all your devices, and that it has all the control options needed to effectively use with all the appliances you plan to pair it with.
  3. Check for flash memory – Universal remotes are very convenient devices, but older models without flash memories can become a hassle when their batteries die. Older remotes without internal memory often have to be reprogrammed every time their battery is replaced, while newer models remember their settings even after an old pair of batteries has been removed.
  4. Set up macros – Some newer universal remotes are capable of running macro sequences, which enable users to set up their remote so that one button will turn on multiple devices at once. This is a lot more convenient than older models, which have to be switched back and forth between devices to turn them on or off or change any of their settings.

How to Choose the Right Size Flat Screen TV for Your Home

Now that it’s 2015, most families have ditched their old tube TVs for a modern flat screen TV and modern remote control. Flat screens offer a lot of advantages over old 20th century TV models, including improved picture, sound, and overall viewing experience. Flat screens are also available in a wider variety of sizes than old model TVs, which means that picking out the perfect flat screen for your home means finding just the right size screen.

Obviously, the size of the room the TV will be located in and the distance that it will sit from the sitting area will have an impact on what size TV screen is best for a room. A small screen in a large room will make the images on the screen appear too small, but if a TV is too large for a room then the image will also be compromised because the viewer will be able to make out all the rows and columns of pixels that make up the images, compromising the crisp qualities of the HD screen.

A good rule of thumb for flat screen TV size is that the distance from the screen should be about 1 ½ to 2 ½ times the diagonal length of the screen. For example, a 36″ TV should be place between 4 and 6 ½ feet away from the viewer, while a 55″ screen should be about 7 to 11 ½ feet away. There is no exact range for each size TV, and the quality of your cable and home video devices will also impact picture quality, but using this system is a good starting place for finding the right size TV for your room.

How to Care for Your Flat Screen TV (and Remote)

A flat screen TV can be a big investment, and most people plan on keeping theirs for years to come. In order for that new TV to work as long as you want it to, however, it’s important to follow good cleaning and care procedures. While most TVs and TV remotes will last a good long while, it is possible for cleaning mistakes or bad maintenance practices to damage your flat screen, compromising its performance.

To get the longest possible performance out of your TV and accessories, remember to follow these tips:

  • Turn off and unplug the TV before cleaning – When you clean your TV, it’s important that it be turned off and cooled down before you start. If a flat screen TV hasn’t been given a chance to cool down, the shift in temperature between the unit and the cleaning materials can damage the screen.
  • Never apply cleaner directly to the screen – Instead of spraying cleaner directly onto the TV screen, apply it lightly to a linen cloth and then wipe the screen. Also remember to let the screen dry completely before turning the TV back on.
  • Avoid excess moisture and humidity – If your TV (especially an LCD TV) is exposed to a lot of moisture and humidity, it can cause the screen to become discolored. Try to find a spot for it in the room where it will remain dry.
  • Remember to clean the remote – Just like with TVs, remotes work better and last longer when regularly cleaned. Wipe the remote with a cloth that has had cleaning solution lightly applied to it, and clean between the buttons with a Q-tip or cotton swab to avoid mashing the buttons.
