Universal Remote's MX-450, MX-880 and MX-6000 hands-on
Who says universal remotes are too complicated to bother with? Judging by the legions of people loitering outside of Universal Remote's booth at CEDIA, quite a few home cinema freaks are considering one of the company's newest controllers. The MX-450, MX-880 and MX-6000 were all on display, though we definitely saw the former two getting all sorts of jealous of the latter. We guess that's what happens when Earthlings are clearly more interested with expansive touchscreens, huh? Check out the whole fam just down there. %Gallery-31226%
Universal Remote intros $500 Complete Control MX-880
Universal Remote briefly mentioned the Complete Control MX-880 in its release of the MX-450, but now we're being treated to a whole heap of new information. URC's PC-programmable remote is unsurprisingly aimed at the custom install sector and boasts a two-inch color LCD along with the ability to be used as an infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF) remote. The $499 unit is essentially a color-screen version of the popular MX-900, and thankfully, the company included interoperability between files built for the latter to work on the new model. Oh, and it's available right now. Full release after the break.
