Review Summary The Acoustic Research Universal Smart Remote works well once you've managed to set it up, but it cannot replace the easy-to-use experience with that of a Harmony remote. The Logitech Harmony 900 is, hands down, the best universal remote control we've ever tested. While it's missing an RF option, Logitech's Harmony One is one of the best--if not the best--universal remote we've ever tested. The Philips Prestigo SRU8015 universal remote offers relatively easy setup and good control flexibility, but it's sabotaged by a poorly implemented scroll-wheel control. The URC Digital R50's successful combination of good ergonomics, solid design, and easy programmability makes it a good alternative to Logitech Harmony universal remotes.
