    By Darryl Wilkinson and Grant Clauser This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a buyer's guide to the best technology. Read the full article here. If you're looking for an easy-to-use universal remote to control up to eight devices, we recommend the Logitech Harmony 650. Seventy-five years after Zenith introduced the first remote control, we're still waiting for someone to make the perfect one, but the 650 is the best option for most people looking to simplify the operation of their home theater or media system. It's easier to program than any non-Harmony remote. Its backlit hard-button layout makes it simple to use, and it's way cheaper than other systems that are equally comprehensive.

    Fewer products are more appropriately named than the Logitech Harmony series of smart remotes. They do wonderful things to take home entertainment systems, comprised of a disparate jumble of mismatched devices, and turn them into peaceful entities that work together for the betterment of your living room -- you half expect doves with olive branches in their mouths to fly out of the box when you get one. Alas, there are neither birds nor branches included with the company's latest entrants to the series, the 600 and 650 announced two weeks ago, but still they offer the best value amongst the current Harmony lineup. Can they broker successful negotiations amongst all your devices? Read on to find out. %Gallery-88275%

  • Logitech 600 and 650 remotes bring Harmony for under $100

    Logitech's most recent offerings in the Harmony line, the 900 and the 700, were much more affordable than the $500 touchscreen Harmony 1100 we reviewed last year, but neither crossed beneath the magical $100 threshold. Finally Logitech has a few new models that'll set you back less than a Benjamin, the $79 Harmony 600 and $99 Harmony 650, said to be shipping by the end of the month. Both share the same shape as the 700 but have been gimped somewhat to control a maximum of five devices -- a curious step back from the 700's six. Likewise the 600 offers only monochrome screen while the 650 offers color, but given your dog's lack of chromatic acuity he'll be perfectly content chewing on either. %Gallery-86885%
