The Best Remote of 2014 from Samsung

ReplacementRemotes.com

When you are shopping for a new TV, one of the key features that is often overlooked is the remote. The fact is that remotes are where it is at in TVs. You can have the best TV on the market, but if the remote makes it hard to use, you may not enjoy the television at all. Looking back on 2014, it is easy to see which style remote was the best — the Samsung Smart Remote.

  • Featuring motion technology, this remote operates much like the popular Wii gaming system controller. Instead of using buttons to navigate through menus and windows, all you have to do is move the remote. This moves the pointer to exactly the location you need.
  • This remote also has a streamlined design. It is small, rounded, and fits well in the palm of your hand. Samsung did remove some buttons to ensure that the remote kept its small and handy appearance. However, you can still access the functions of the missing buttons — you just have to access them through the on-screen menus.
  • The Samsung remote is ideal for someone looking to watch some movies or shows without operating a bunch of devices at the same time. While this isn’t the ideal remote for universally controlling all of your electronic devices, if your needs are easy to meet, this can work. In other words, if simplicity is your middle name, then this remote is for you.

An LG Television to Die For

ReplacementRemotes.com

As we talk about new television models coming out in 2015, we simply cannot overlook one TV in particular — LG’s 98-inch 8K model. That’s right — we said 98 inches, and we said 8K, not 4K. This TV is certainly not for the faint-of-heart, and its TV remote control does a great job of accessing its features. This is a television for die-hard viewers who want a true theater experience in the comfort of their home.

  • One of the best features of this TV is its amazing display. This is thanks to the 8K technology, which has 4 times the resolution of today’s 4K TVs — and an astonishing 16 times the resolution of popular 1080p TVs. All of this resolution means you will experience an eye-popping, lifelike display.
  • Another fabulous feature of this TV is its sheer size. With 98 inches of viewing pleasure, you can watch all of your favorite movies, and feel as if you are in a theater. This is the kind of TV that needs a dedicated room, the kind of TV that practically demands a large audience simply to gush over its beauty.
  • The only downfall to this TV is that broadcasting isn’t ready for 8K resolution yet. Heck, broadcasting is still trying to catch up to 4K technology. However, technology is always improving, and it is probably safe to say that 8K resolution as a common feature is in our future. We just have to give broadcasters a chance to catch up with TV manufacturers.

Three Tips for Buying Your Next TV

ReplacementRemotes.com

We all know how difficult it can be to buy a new TV. You have so many features to consider, including the TV remote features. Figuring out which features you absolutely need and which ones you can live without can be tough. Here are three tips to help make your next TV purchase faster and easier:

  1. Set your budget. Before you ever start shopping, you need to know how much you can afford to spend. Setting a budget will keep you from looking at TVs that you can’t possibly afford. Determine how much TV you can buy, and stick to your budget.
  2. Decide on features. Features include things such as smart suites, 4K technology, HD, etc. You have to figure out which features are must-haves for your home. If you are a movie fanatic, you are going to want the best possible picture, so an HD 4K television may be your best choice. If you are more of an internet streamer, then you definitely want a TV with a suite of smart features that allow you to connect online.
  3. Start comparison shopping. Once you know which features you want, you can start shopping. Brand names can make a difference, although you shouldn’t be ruled only by the brand name. Instead, compare each make and model of each TV, and read reviews. You may be able to find all of the features you want at a lower price.

Keeping these three tips in mind, you should have less trouble finding and buying a TV to meet all of your viewing needs.

The Samsung UNHU9000 Series

ReplacementRemotes.com

As one of the cheaper 4K TVs, the UNHU9000 series offers a good picture quality, curved screen, and two different remotes. Its price ranges from $3,500 to $4,500, which is low compared to other brands of 4K TVs that go for as much as $40,000. It offers great picture quality for the price, even though most forms of 4K content are not available yet.

The screen is curved, but, in this TV, it is more of a gimmick than anything. While watching TV, you’re not likely to notice the curve, much, but otherwise it is very obvious. Its overall design includes a low-profile base, and it is a thin TV, but not as thin as LG’s newest TV for 2014. It comes with a standard remote, which is the same as most other Samsung remotes. However, the smaller, pod-shaped clicker remote bests even some of the top luxury TV remotes.

Pros:

  • Excellent picture quality
  • Deep black levels
  • Good bright-room picture
  • Excellent feature selection
  • Attractive overall design
  • Excellent remotes, especially the small clicker
  • Active 3D technology
  • Local dimming
  • Pop up camera
  • Multi-screen
  • 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports

Cons:

  • Expensive
  • Curve does not add to picture quality
  • Curve distorts some of the picture
  • Little-to-no 4K content
  • 3D glasses seem cheap

The bottom line is that this is a good TV, if you have to have the 4K resolution. However, the curved screen adds a lot to the price, and right now it does not seem worth it. It does nothing for the overall picture quality.

The Philips Elevation

ReplacementRemotes.com

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.

Replacement Remotes offers a full range of remote controls for televisions and other uses; contact us today with any questions, needs, or comments.

The 2014 Sharp Aquos Quattron Plus

ReplacementRemotes.com

This 1080p offering from Sharp is a lot more reasonable in price compared to Samsung’s 4K offering, and it comes in a large size, along with a nifty universal TV remote. For just under $5,000 for the 70-inch, and a little less for the 60-inch, you could have one of your very own. The TV is a Smart TV with active TV technology. In addition to this, the TV is incredibly flat.

It offers up a decent universal remote that allows you to control several different devices with it. Beyond that, the remote is easy to use while scrolling through the apps or when using the web browser. The TV itself looks sleek in the living room and can be wall-mounted, or you can use the stand on an entertainment center. Be wary, as the TV is very heavy and setup takes two people.

Pros:

  • Plays 4K video content
  • Upscales resolution of HD content
  • Low cost for what it offers
  • Smart TV
  • Active 3D technology
  • Great picture quality

Cons:

  • The standard USB are not 2.0, making it slightly outdated
  • Expensive for the average Joe
  • Advertised as a true 4K TV

Bottom Line:

This 1080p TV almost mimics 4K resolution. You won’t be able to tell the difference at all. It does offer many more pixels than most TVs and a very large amount of sub-pixels. What this means for you is a better picture at a lot lower cost than a full 4K resolution TV.
