A lot of remotes out there are so complicated, you can’t even turn on the TV. Logitech has just announced the Harmony 1100, which gives off that chic, complex look, but is easy to operate— a trademark of all of the remotes in the popular Logitech line.
The newest Harmony includes a 3.5-inch full-color touchscreen. Even cooler, you can actually customize the unit so that commands are whenever you need them to be. Tactile guides around the screen help you choose the right commands. Of course, there’s also one-touch activity-based access, which is what made the Harmony line so famous.
“The Harmony 1100 is a natural extension of the Harmony promise – to simplify today’s complex home-entertainment systems,” said Ashish Arora, VP and general manager of Logitech’s Harmony unit. “As more and more people get the bulk of their entertainment at home, the Harmony 1100 will help people get more out of their home-entertainment experience—for a fraction of the price of traditional custom-installed remotes.”
The Harmony 1100 will be available next month for $499.99. An RF extender is sold separately to provide additional control options, up to 100 feet away.

I have a 1000 and a 890.
Both seem to work good for the most part.
Sometimes there is a “missed command” but few and far between.
And for the record the 1000 has always been RF.
Seems exactly like the 1000 except that it’s BLACK in color and has a higher screen resolution.
The 1000 had many problems. Maybe this is aversion that works???
So this is basically the 1000 but with RF capability? I’ll be watching this one.
I love my harmony remotes. I have an 880 for living room and a 890 for bedroom (rf function). I am not a home theater snob or pro. It works great for me.
