If you are thinking about freeing up space on the entertainment center or TV stand, check out these trendy TV wall mount design ideas!

  1. Build the mount into the wall. Built-ins are trending right now because you are tapping into the space behind the drywall. Plus, it makes things recessed, so you gain more living space in the room. Just make sure to use an interior wall.
  2. In the bathroom above the bathtub. TV in the bathroom is becoming very popular with homeowners. They can relax in the tub after a long day at work and catch up on their favorite programs. Just make sure to use a water-resistant TV.
  3. Build a “picture” frame around the TV. Framing the TV will make it more decorative when it is not in use, as it will look like a picture of a TV that has been framed.
  4. On top of wood paneled walls. One hot design trend is to use hardwood flooring on the walls as accents or for the entire room.
  5. Built into a bookcase or entertainment center with sliding doors. Sliding doors hide the TV when it is not in use and turn the focus to the other décor in the room.

Don’t forget to upgrade your remote controls to a universal remote for easy control of your wall-mounted TV and connected devices. For help selecting the right remote controls and wall mounts for your TVs, please feel free to contact ReplacementRemotes at 1-855-5-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683) today!

Does Watching TV Before Going to Bed Keep You Up

ReplacementRemotes.com

For most people, keeping the TV on right until bedtime can affect how well we fall asleep and how much restful sleep we get. If you find you are having a difficult time putting down the TV remote control, you are not alone.

We tell ourselves we are going to watch just one more episode, and then stop for the night. Next thing we know, it is 4 a.m., and we just finished watching ten episodes back to back. Aside from binge-watching keeping us up at night, another reason we can have problems falling asleep is due to the type of blue light our TV and device screens emit.

This blue light slows down the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps us sleep. Rather, our bodies are tricked into believing it is still daytime. Have you ever been sleepy while watching TV, and then, the moment you shut it off, you are wide awake? This is caused by reduced melatonin levels.

How to Get to Sleep Easier

One way to fall asleep easier is to shut off the TV and discontinue using ALL electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime. Doing so allows your mind and body to relax and melatonin levels to increase, which will make it easier to fall asleep.

To help you shut off the TV sooner, set the timer on your TV with your remote so it automatically turns off. During the hour or so before bed, read a paperback or hardcover book or engage your loved ones in conversation.

Prevent Losing Your Remote

Where Is That Remote? Ways to Prevent Losing Your Remote

ReplacementRemotes.com

Misplacing our remote controls is something that has happened to all of us at least once. We spend hours searching down the sides of couch and chair cushions, moving furniture around, looking in the refrigerator, checking the kids’ toy boxes, and rummaging through other areas of the home.

Most of the time, we find it and make a promise to ourselves to not let it happen again. Yet it does happen again, especially if we have kids and pets. If you are tired of spending part of your evenings searching high and low for your remote, here are some great tips and tricks you can use without having to chain it to your coffee table!

Prevent Losing Your Remote

  • Purchase the CBL02 Security Cable attachment. https://www.replacementremotes.com/anderic/buy-universal-remote-control-security-cable-cbl02
  • Velcro the remote to a specific area when not needed. A great spot is underneath the end table or coffee table. This keeps it out of sight of little ones and your pets.
  • Secure it to a larger object. Put your DIY or arts and crafts skills to use and make a “box” or some other decorative item that keeps the remote securely in place.
  • Put it away in the same spot. When you are done watching TV, get into the habit of placing the remote on a shelf or next to the TV.
  • Keep it in a furniture storage If your couch or ottoman has a storage compartment, you can put it in this location whenever you do not need it.

Should you misplace your remote and not be able to find it, you can get a new one from ReplacementRemotes. Please feel free to contact us at 1-855-5-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683) for ordering assistance.

A Guide to Universal Remotes on How to Choose the Best One

ReplacementRemotes.com

Are you tired of having to use two, three, four, or more remotes to control all of your home entertainment devices? Do you get confused as to which remote does what? Have you tried using the so-called “compatibility” feature on some original remotes with little success or very limited functionality? If so, then a universal remote could be the perfect solution to these issues!

Selecting the right one depends on the number of devices you have and what functions you want to perform. There are several different types that function slightly differently. Three of the most popular ones include:

  • Learning Remotes: This type of remote requires you to program it using your existing remotes. It can “learn” functions for each of your devices. They will also work with a number of remote-controlled smart devices.

  • Pre-Programmed Remotes: This type of remote comes pre-programmed with codes to control anywhere from four to twelve devices. They are a good choice if you are technology-challenged, have older devices, or only have a basic home entertainment setup.
  • Touch Screen Remotes: These remotes can be either learning or pre-programmed remotes. Setting up the remote is easy, as most walk you through the steps on the touchscreen. Some models can also feature Wi-Fi connectivity and/or an app you can use on your smartphone.

Four Common Issues Seniors Face When Using TV Remote Controls

ReplacementRemotes.com

If you are a senior or have elderly parents, you want to make sure, as you age in place, you have access to technology and devices to make your life easier. One area where most seniors have issues is with their TV remote controls. Some of the more common issues seniors face include:

  1. The buttons on the remote are very small. Being able to push the right button can be difficult since they are crammed together and are so tiny. The best solution for this issue is a large button TV remote control for elderly
  2. The buttons on the remote are all the same color. It can be hard to distinguish between different devices’ power on/off, stop, start, volume up/down, channel up/down and other such functions. One solution is to get a universal remote for seniors that uses different colors for the different functions.

  1. The buttons on the remote have print too tiny to read. This issue is because the buttons on the remote are crammed together and made smaller. A large-button TV remote for seniors will also resolve this issue.
  1. There are too many buttons on the remote. Many seniors only have a few devices they need to control—the TV, Blu-ray player, and cable/satellite box. They do not need a remote with 20 gazillion buttons and functions for controlling every single component and “smart” device in the entire home. The easiest solution is to find a remote control that controls two to three devices and has fewer buttons.

As you can see, there are simple and effective ways for overcoming these common issues seniors face when using TV remote controls. For assistance in finding the best universal remote for seniors, please feel free to contact Replacement Remotes at 1-855-573-6683 to speak with a representative today!

In addition, there are special universal remotes to provide assistance for those with visual impairments, arthritis, and other mobility and disability issues and conditions. For instance, a new advance is the voice-activated remote.

Instead of having to remember which button to push or which channel number, you simply speak into the remote what you want, and it automatically does it for you. Basically, your remote is your own personal digital entertainment assistant, and it functions similarly to Siri or Alexa.

There are also touchscreen universal remotes that allow you to program everything you need for specific operations. For instance, you press the “watch TV” button and the remote turns on the TV, changes to the right input, and turns on any other devices like the soundbar.

Thanks to these advancements, the days of having a stack of remotes piled up on the coffee table are no longer necessary. For assistance in finding the right universal remote to simplify your life, please feel free to contact Replacement Remotes at 1-855-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683) today!
