There are a slew of remote controls out there that can combine the control of multiple devices into one unit. So what makes the Philips SRU9600 so special? Well, just look at it!

This universal remote has an extensive infrared database, making most programming a snap. It also had an iPod-like rotary controller, making navigation and set up easy to whip through.

However, it's the unit's touch-sensitive LCD that makes this controller very cool. Easy to use and customize, you can even design your own buttons in Adobe Photoshop. That makes the decision-process pretty clear to us. After all, the thing didn't win awards for nothing, you know! -- Rachel Cericola
