Home Theater Blog takes out the Home Theater Master MX-3000, a $1,000 color LCD remote that competes with the Philips Pronto system, among others (its programming software even imports the Pronto’s .ccf files). Unsurprisingly, the reviewer is pretty captivated by it – these things appeal to the tinkerer nature of home theater dorks like nothing else – but does suggest springing for the extra $100 RF-to-IR emitter that lets you use the remote from up to 100 feet away in any orientation.
If I got one of these it would almost double the total monetary value of my home theater system.
