Logitech’s new Harmony 1100 features a 3.5-inch full color touchscreen.
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.

Overrated yes, limited functionality yes probably. But similar wow factor to a Crestron system for 1/10tht the price. Most people will be able to cope.
Personally i prefer real buttons to on screen buttons, i dont like having to surf through 3 different sub menus to find the button im looking for just because the display can only hold so many commands. The customizable feature does sound like it might have potential.
overrated no doubt
I hope they fixed the bugs in this one!

A History of TV Remote Controls
It’s hard to imagine life without remote controls, but it’s been a long, strange path to the modern incarnation we know and love today.
I had 3 1000 plus others from, I promises myself not to get another Harmony , as the ones I had was terrible. I can’t imagine
this one be any better, not enough effort put into the 1000 at all.
the touch screen very slow and most of the time unresponsive
perhaps they should invest in more accurate tech like Apple does. good tech support as long you can understand what they say.
I give two snap down and a big circle.
