    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%

    It's been a tick since we've seen any new component controllers from Universal Remote, but with CEDIA 2008 just over the horizon, the outfit is pumping out a new entry-level unit aimed at the custom install channel. The Complete Control MX-450 boasts a rather stylish, slender design that includes a built-in color LCD (220 x 176 resolution), MacroEdit firmware for on-remote editing (huzzah!), LED backlit screen and buttons and a respectable $249 price tag. Eager consumers can reportedly snap this one up right now. Full release after the break.
