The Sharp LC-UQ17U Promises Too Much and Fails to Deliver
With the wide assortment of TVs and remotes on the market, finding one that fits your budget and your lifestyle is not easy. Doing ample research before investing in a TV can help ensure that you don’t find yourself stuck with a lemon. For instance: buying a TV with a remote that is so complicated, you need a universal with remote control codes just to operate your new TV! Replacement Remotes is here to help you sort through the madness and find the right TV to meet your needs.
A closer look at the Sharp LC-UQ17U reveals that this LED-backlit LCD TV is not all that it’s cracked up to be. Since 4K technology seems to be the latest rage, but not everyone can afford a 4K TV, Sharp decided to create a television that acts like a 4K TV — and it falls within the $1600 to $2500 price range.
The Sharp LC-UQ17U is a 1080p TV that features deep blacks and shadow detail, giving it a nice quality display — but that’s about as far as it goes. This TV tries to give you 4K technology, but fails. The Revelation engine, which is supposed to give the display the 4K boost, actually hinders the picture quality at times. It can smudge the finer details and add artifacts during the darker-colored scenes. The pixilation of this TV is often noticeable, which means that you cannot sit too close to the screen — another 4K feature that Sharp fails to deliver.
Finally, the price is just too much for a fake 4K television — if you want true 4K technology, you can probably find it for a comparable price. The Sharp LC-UQ17U is fine, if you don’t mind spending the extra money for 4K technology that isn’t really 4K technology, but if all you want is a decent picture, you can surely find that in a more affordable model.

The Samsung PNF8500 Series Delivers an Amazing Picture
Finding an awesome TV and a matching TV remote control may seem like an impossible challenge, especially with so many available models on the market. However, the Samsung PNF8500 series takes the guesswork out of the process. This television series delivers exactly what you would expect in the $2400 to $3100 price range.

Samsung didn’t hold anything back when creating this series, as it offers the latest in Smart TV technology. Finally, the design is slim and sleek, making it a perfect fit for any interior design.
The biggest flaws with this TV series are the price and the power consumption. If you like living “green,” you may want to steer clear of this TV series — it consumes a lot more power than comparable LCD TVs. The price is also on the steep side, which means it is not a good fit for every budget.
Overall, this plasma TV series delivers more than what you might expect in terms of picture quality and features — but you can also expect to pay for these features and quality.

All About the Vizio M2i-B TV Series
When choosing between TVs, the remote controls are an important part of the choice. You want one that gives you access to the functions you need without being too complicated or ugly. The Vizio M2i-B series of TVs has a great remote that features a QWERTY keyboard, and it is also in a sleek, silver color. There are other good features of this TV series.
For the price of about $1500, you get a TV that offers a great picture. It has a local dimming LED backlight that allows it to offer deep blacks and little blooming. There are plenty of picture adjustments available, too, which ensure that you are able to create the ideal picture. As a Smart TV, it has lots of available content and a user-friendly design. As mentioned, the remote is also quite stylish and handy, offering you plenty of feature-access, as well as a QWERTY keyboard.
Unfortunately, the sound quality of this TV series is not what you might expect from a $1500 television. The high price means a great picture — but the quality is really not that much better than what you will find in a cheaper model. The color is accurate, but not as accurate as it could be, and that goes for the video processing, too.
All in all, this is a sound TV series that delivers a great picture for a somewhat affordable price. The features make it seem like an even more expensive TV. Use your common sense when making the choice to buy this TV — it may be better to shop around for something comparable that delivers even more features.

The Vizio E0i-B TV Series — The Good and the Bad
From the TV remote to the actual television, finding the one that is the perfect fit for your home is hard. There are just so many TVs out there, and it is easy to get an information-overload while doing your research. Replacement Remotes is here to help make things a little easier by taking a closer look at the Vizio E0i-B series of TVs.
If you are looking for a TV that fits well within just about any budget, this series might be right for you. Prices ranges from $700 to $730, which is a very affordable price for a TV that delivers — and this series does deliver. While you cannot expect the same picture quality of a plasma TV, this LCD series holds its own against the competitors.
One of the best things about this series of TVs is its picture quality. The local dimming features allows the TV to provide you with deep blacks with little blooming. It also works great in a brightly-lit room, which is important if you enjoy staying out of the dark while enjoying your favorite shows. There are also lots of ways you can adjust the picture to perfection.
There is, of course, a downside. The TV remote for this series is not exactly brilliant, but it is sufficient. The sound quality for this series also leaves much to be desired, but if you hook it up to a surround sound system, you may not even notice. The video processing is not up to par with other TVs, but for the price, you really can’t beat it.

Is the Samsung UNF8000 the Right TV for You?
With so many TVs and their corresponding remotes on the market, it can be tough to choose the best one. The last thing you want to do is make a hasty decision. Knowing the ins and outs of each TV will help you make the right choice.
The Samsung UNF8000 is an LED LCD TV that has its good and bad points. First, let’s talk about the good stuff. The UNF8000 has superior picture quality. Some of the benefits of its picture quality include:
- Deep blacks and accurate colors
- Smooth video processing
- A uniform screen
Each of these factors creates an absolutely brilliant picture. It also features a streamlined design with a tiny bezel and unobtrusive stand. The touchpad remote has a vast array of buttons and features, providing you access to all of the goodies within this TVs capabilities. It also comes equipped with 4 pairs of 3-D glasses.
Now, on to the not-so-good stuff. The price for the UNF8000 is steep, ranging from $1400 to $2300 dollars. The stand is low-profile, but it is wide, so you will need a larger surface to hold the TV. The cable box control features are still less than adequate, especially if you are primarily a DVR kind of person.
Overall, this is a great TV with lots of features to give you an awesome viewing experience — if you are prepared to shell out a large amount of money. Before you dive into purchasing this TV, weigh your options carefully and make sure your budget can afford the hit.

The Curious Curved TV: Sony KDL-S990A
This LED-based LCD HDTV is one of the first HDTVs with a curved screen. Its release price was $4,000, which is a lot to pay for a TV. Its TV remote control is very long, with few buttons. The curve of the TV is very slight, but Sony states it is noticeable for the viewers near the center of the viewing angle. Due to this gentle, subtle curve, the HDTV must be placed on a wide stand. In addition, the TV itself is quite wide.
Instead of using OLED technology, Sony uses what it knows: LED technology. The resolution is 1080p, not 4K like other curved TVs. For such an HDTV, it offers a unique sound system, with eight speakers facing multiple directions. The surround sound is impressive, compared to many flat panel devices. The remote itself is nothing special. It offers the usual numbered buttons and a central directional pad with buttons above you can program.
Pros:
- Great sound system
- Powerful video processing
- Whole suite of Smart TV apps
- Built in Wi-Fi
- Great picture and color
- Energy Star certified
- Active 3D technology
Cons:
- Expensive
- Very large footprint
- Very heavy at over 100 lbs.
Bottom Line:
This is a great curved HDTV, but very expensive. Within a year, curved HDTVs might drop in price and offer better or different options. If you can afford the TV and must have this technology now, go for it. Just expect better technology to follow. In the meantime, you will have a great functioning HDTV. If you do order this TV and ever need a replacement remote, contact us for quick delivery.
A Step Up from the 8000 Series: Samsung UNF9000 Series
The Samsung UNF9000 is a 4K TV at a smaller price than their UNS series. Its TV remote is one of the touch-pad clicker models distributed with the Samsung high-end TVs. The TV itself is nice looking, but it does have some drawbacks. The curved base must be situated on a table or stand as wide as it is, or else the TV risks collapse. The thin bezel is silver and very minimalistic, matching the base.
These 4K TVs are future-proof. This means that it can be upgraded, normally for a small price. The One Connect upgrade box attaches to the back of the TV, and a new one could be added in the future, adding more features to the TV. The remote is small, and it features a touch pad. It fits well in the hand, and the Bluetooth technology works wonders. It’s incredibly accurate and nimble, allowing easy navigation of the menus.
Pros:
- Excellent picture quality and great black levels
- Accurate color
- Great video processing
- Upgradable One Connect box
- Active 3D technology and four 3D glasses
- Excellent remote
- Smart TV, voice and gesture control
Cons:
- Expensive at $4,000
- Does not have better features or picture than a high-end LCD/LED HDTV
- Wide stand
- Far too little 4K content
Bottom Line:
If you must have a 4K HDTV, this one costs far less than others do. However, it is still expensive compared to LED/LCD models. It does offer a great set of features, but very similar ones to the 8000 series.

The Philips Elevation
The Philips Elevation is an HDTV with an interesting set of features and a very different TV remote from others. The television offers a backlighting ability that can change colors of LEDs facing the wall to match the colors on the TV screen. The Elevation can control numerous LEDs within close range, too, such as lamps and such. It leaves an interesting effect in a room for those watching TV, but may not be desired by all HDTV enthusiasts.
The remote looks like a standard remote control, but it offers a hidden keypad on the back. This keypad can be used with the Smart TV and Internet browsing capabilities. However, it seems a little like overkill, and the buttons are crowded together. The mouse can also be used as a pointer. The TV is very slim, with an equally slim bezel. Devices using the same Wi-Fi connection can have their screens mirrored for easy video viewing.
Pros:
- Ultra slim model
- Clear stand
- Control the TV with an app
- Excellent picture quality
- Cast picture from devices to screen
- 900Hz motion rate for excellent motion sharpness
- Remote with many features
Cons:
- Price is still a little high at $5,000
- Features are little like overkill
- The lighting feature may annoy some customers
Bottom Line:
This is a great TV with excellent features for the money. Many of the features are only offered on this TV and not on others. The Elevation offers a full range of Smart TV apps easily accessible with the pointer remote. Skype is also a native program on the TV, with the remote’s keyboard being handy for chatting.
