The Sony KD-65X9005B — Majestic, Mammoth Beauty

As a movie buff, you want only one thing — to be able to watch your favorite movies from the comfort of home, but with the feel of a theater. That is where a big-screen TV and corresponding TV remote come into play. With the right big-screen TV, you can have the best of both your home world and the theater world. So, which TV is big enough? A 65-inch is usually a safe bet for home theater viewing, such as the Sony KD-65X9005B. For around $2,700, you can enjoy a fantastic display from a trusted manufacturer.

This TV has a unique wedge design that allows it to fit in with most any décor. It features 4 HDMI ports and 3 USB ports, as well as built-in Wi-Fi. The display and audio are, by far, the best features of this monster television. The picture is clear and crisp, with sharp blacks and colors. The audio is some of the best audio for this particular class of TV. Of course, hooked up to your surround sound, you will be set for at-home movies!

There are minimal flaws to Sony’s television, including that unique design. The wedge isn’t the problem, it is the sheer mammoth size of the TV that could make it hard for you to fit it inside your home. However, if you have the room, this is definitely a sound investment. One other drawback is its Active Shutter 3D. Unfortunately, this feature can demonstrate some flickering, which detracts from your viewing pleasure.

Overall, if you want the theater experience at home, and you aren’t really concerned with 3D, then this is the TV for you. Contact us today at Replacement Remotes to learn more about this television, as well as others.

Reasons to Buy a Smaller Television

If you are thinking about buying a new TV, you need to think about more than just the size of the screen and the features of the TV remote. Sure, a huge TV is a great way to view movies and your favorite shows, but big TVs also come with a higher price tag. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Here are some reasons why you might want to think about buying a smaller, more affordable television:

  • If the TV you are looking for is going to be for your kids, then definitely invest in something smaller. There is no reason why your children need a 55-inch TV to watch cartoons. Instead, find a quality, affordable, and smaller TV that will get the job done.
  • If your college student needs a TV, then smaller is the way to go. Dorm rooms are not known for their expansive space, so investing in something small is going to give your child plenty of room for other things — like textbooks.
  • If you are looking for a second TV for your home, then think about downsizing. Keep the biggest TV in the main living area where you, your family, and your friends can enjoy it. For your personal bedroom or the kitchen, smaller is just fine.

If the only thing holding you back from buying a smaller TV is fear of quality, remember that many smaller TVs provide just as good of a picture as larger TVs. Today’s technology makes it possible to give even the smallest screen the prettiest display.

The Best Remote of 2014 from Samsung

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.
