What
Logitech Harmony 900 Rechargeable Remote with Color Touch Screen is an all-in-one remote which enables you to control your home theater equipments even through TV cabinet doors thanks to the RF technology. To supplied IR blaster forwards the signals to your devices by converting the RF signal from the remote into the IR commands. While it is not entirely necessary to have a RF remote control at home, it will definitely make it easier to control devices that are hidden behind the TV cabinet doors. In other words the key value proposition is that the Harmony 900 remote control gives you the freedom to place devices where ever you want.
Why
Compared to the previously reviewed Harmony 700 model, Logitech Harmony 900 takes remote controlling to a completely new level. The remote control supports radio frequency RF receiver, which means that you can control devices without line-of-sight. Especially if you locate your devices inside a TV bench, this remote control is for you. It is easy to use and every family member should feel comfortable controlling any device in the digital living room. Although the remote is quite pricey, if you purchase separately an IR blaster that enables you to control hidden devices, the cost is easily even higher. Thus, the benefit of Harmony 900 package is that you get everything together in a working solution for controlling devices placed around your home theater setup. Another benefit is longer than usual operating range. E.g. If you need to control your devices from a dining table or similar place.
