The Sony KD-65X9005B -- Majestic, Mammoth Beauty

As a movie buff, you want only one thing -- to be able to watch your favorite movies from the comfort of home, but with the feel of a theater. That is where a big-screen TV and corresponding TV remote come into play. With the right big-screen TV, you can have the best of both your home world and the theater world. So, which TV is big enough? A 65-inch is usually a safe bet for home theater viewing, such as the Sony KD-65X9005B. For around $2,700, you can enjoy a fantastic display from a trusted manufacturer.

This TV has a unique wedge design that allows it to fit in with most any décor. It features 4 HDMI ports and 3 USB ports, as well as built-in Wi-Fi. The display and audio are, by far, the best features of this monster television. The picture is clear and crisp, with sharp blacks and colors. The audio is some of the best audio for this particular class of TV. Of course, hooked up to your surround sound, you will be set for at-home movies!

There are minimal flaws to Sony’s television, including that unique design. The wedge isn’t the problem, it is the sheer mammoth size of the TV that could make it hard for you to fit it inside your home. However, if you have the room, this is definitely a sound investment. One other drawback is its Active Shutter 3D. Unfortunately, this feature can demonstrate some flickering, which detracts from your viewing pleasure.

Overall, if you want the theater experience at home, and you aren’t really concerned with 3D, then this is the TV for you. Contact us today at Replacement Remotes to learn more about this television, as well as others.

Reasons to Buy a Smaller Television

If you are thinking about buying a new TV, you need to think about more than just the size of the screen and the features of the TV remote. Sure, a huge TV is a great way to view movies and your favorite shows, but big TVs also come with a higher price tag. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Here are some reasons why you might want to think about buying a smaller, more affordable television:

• If the TV you are looking for is going to be for your kids, then definitely invest in something smaller. There is no reason why your children need a 55-inch TV to watch cartoons. Instead, find a quality, affordable, and smaller TV that will get the job done.


• If your college student needs a TV, then smaller is the way to go. Dorm rooms are not known for their expansive space, so investing in something small is going to give your child plenty of room for other things -- like textbooks.


• If you are looking for a second TV for your home, then think about downsizing. Keep the biggest TV in the main living area where you, your family, and your friends can enjoy it. For your personal bedroom or the kitchen, smaller is just fine.

If the only thing holding you back from buying a smaller TV is fear of quality, remember that many smaller TVs provide just as good of a picture as larger TVs. Today’s technology makes it possible to give even the smallest screen the prettiest display.

Don’t worry too much about quality when shopping for a smaller TV, and for all of your remote needs, contact us here at Replacement Remotes.

Three Tips for Buying Your Next TV

We all know how difficult it can be to buy a new TV. You have so many features to consider, including the TV remote features. Figuring out which features you absolutely need and which ones you can live without can be tough. Here are three tips to help make your next TV purchase faster and easier:

1. Set your budget. Before you ever start shopping, you need to know how much you can afford to spend. Setting a budget will keep you from looking at TVs that you can’t possibly afford. Determine how much TV you can buy, and stick to your budget.


2. Decide on features. Features include things such as smart suites, 4K technology, HD, etc. You have to figure out which features are must-haves for your home. If you are a movie fanatic, you are going to want the best possible picture, so an HD 4K television may be your best choice. If you are more of an internet streamer, then you definitely want a TV with a suite of smart features that allow you to connect online.


3. Start comparison shopping. Once you know which features you want, you can start shopping. Brand names can make a difference, although you shouldn’t be ruled only by the brand name. Instead, compare each make and model of each TV, and read reviews. You may be able to find all of the features you want at a lower price.

Keeping these three tips in mind, you should have less trouble finding and buying a TV to meet all of your viewing needs.

What to Expect from Roku in 2015

Roku is one of the most popular streaming services around. Basically, it is a small stick device that you plug into your TV. You can then watch different shows from internet services, such as Hulu Plus. One of the biggest flaws with the Roku device is that you can’t use your TV remote to operate it. This leaves you trying to juggle two remotes at once. Fortunately, there have been some TV models in 2014 that had Roku built right in, making it accessible with your regular remote. Even better -- in 2015, Roku will be built into even more TV models!

This is an exciting revelation because the brands will be affordable. This means that you won’t have to invest thousands of dollars into a TV just to have the Roku. The TVs will be geared more toward the regular folks just like yourself that need and want access to streaming services. TCL televisions currently offer 4 models with Roku. That number will increase to 12 models, giving you a much larger selection. You will also see Roku in Insignia and Haier televisions, providing you with even more shopping power.

With the addition of Roku to more TV models, and with the wide availability of the Roku streaming stick, there will be little reason why a household isn’t streaming in 2015. So, if you have been waiting for an affordable TV to stream from the comfort of one remote, you will soon have it. To learn more about the latest TV models available, and to find out which one might be right for you, contact us at Replacement Remotes.

The Sony KDL-32W706B -- Smaller TV for Simple Needs

Tax season is just around the corner, so you can expect to see plenty of great deals on TVs and remote controls. Today, we take a closer look at a fantastic budget TV for those that need something small and simple. Remember, just because a TV carries a low price tag doesn’t mean it’s of poor quality. The Sony KDL-32W706B is available for right around $500. While it’s only a 32-inch television, it still packs a lot of punch for its small size.

• This is an LCD TV with LED edge lighting, which means you get a great picture with vibrant colors and deep blacks.


• Sound quality in this little beauty -- which has a stylish design to fit in with any décor -- is about what you would expect from a 32-inch TV. However, this doesn’t mean that the quality is poor. On the contrary, it is quite sufficient for how this TV is likely to be used, such as in a guest bedroom.


• The Smart TV suite isn’t exactly user-friendly, and it doesn’t offer all of the features of more expensive televisions. However, the Smart factor is still there, so you do get to experience what it’s like, which might lead you to invest in a larger Smart TV.


• You also get a generous 4 HDMI ports, so you can easily use this smaller TV for gaming, making it a great choice for a child’s bedroom.

The LG 55EA9800 -- Amazing TV with Reduced Price

It’s the end of the year, so it’s time to take a look at the best TVs that 2014 brought us. Reviewed.com had no trouble voting the LG 55EA9800 as the best TV for the year. Although it was released in 2013, it held its own throughout the year, and a significant decrease in price combined with stellar features, a useful TV remote, and beautiful display earned this LG television the top spot. Here is what you can expect from this fantastic TV:

• The price ranges from $2700 to $3300, which may seem like a lot of money to drop on a 55-inch TV. However, when you consider that the price has come down about $8,000 from its release, then you realize you are getting a great value.


• This is a curved-screen OLED TV, providing you with one of the best picture displays you can find. The OLED technology provides true blacks, the brightest whites, and the most vivid colors. This is a display picture that will truly have you feeling as if you can reach out and touch whatever is on the screen -- the detail and coloring are that good!


• This is an extremely thin television. It is only about as wide at the edge as four credit cards stacked on top of each other! The stand is clear, so that when you turn off the lights to watch a movie, all you see is the bright, vivid picture.


• You can expect all of the smart TV features, including 3-D technology, streaming content, and different applications.

There really isn’t anything bad to say about this LG television. It outperformed all other comparable TVs. So, if you are willing to spend a nice chunk of change on a TV, this is the one you should lean toward.

4K TV Spotlight: The Toshiba L9363

The Toshiba L9363 is a good budget 4K TV, but the TV remote is a real let down. The TV does offer a bright picture with good color performance. It does have some issues with motion blur and sluggish menus. The TV costs less than $5,000, which is attractive, since many 4K TVs are going for prices way above what the average person would pay for them. In fact, some TVs were selling for as much as $40,000. So, if you can deal with a less than perfect picture, and you have to have a 4K TV, this might be the one for you.

The design of the Smart TV menu leaves a lot to be desired, but it is a good start for Toshiba. Unfortunately, the overall design of this TV is plastic and cheap. It does not look or feel like a TV that costs as much as it does. However, the thin bezel along the front of the screen is a nice touch. The remote looks and feels cheap, too. It is sluggish and feels spongy when you press down the keys.

Pros:

• Low price


• Good bright display


• Color performance is good

Cons:

• 4K resolution does not help picture quality


• Poor 3D support


• Low black levels


• Sluggish menus and not so good Smart TV suite

Bottom Line:

The picture performance of this TV is not so good considering the price tag. It is not a good value compared to some of the 1080p TVs available on the market.

The Sony Bravia KD65X9005B Reviewed

The Sony Bravia KD65X9005B is bulky, but offers a good picture. Instead of just one TV remote, it comes with two. The TV does have top of the line picture quality, but the overall design is questionable. It comes with a Smart TV suite, but it lacks a lot of apps. Aside from the missing apps, the Smart TV menu offers an easy to use interface. It also has 3D, but the performance of this system is iffy at best. It does offer 4K or UltraHD video and has very good sound quality, but, for this, Sony sacrificed design.

Let's face it: this TV has some design flaws. Most people either love it or hate it. The TV is extremely wide for a 65-inch model. So wide, in fact, that it will not fit on most stands suited for 65-inch TVs. However, it does offer additional slots to place the stand to accommodate it. It has several speakers on the sides, which have shiny black housing that is very distracting. The wedge design makes the TV look odd and, again, some people will either love it or hate it. The remotes are excellent, and they are almost as good as Samsung's similar models. The TV offers a basic wand remote and a smart clicker that has a touchpad and motion control.

Pros:

• Excellent picture quality


• Deep black levels


• Great sound quality due to massive speakers


• Excellent remotes

Cons:

• Design is too bulky


• Smart TV system lacks apps


• 3D performance could be much better

Bottom Line:

This is a decent TV, but some of its features could stand to be better. For the money, you're better off with a HDTV that offers better features and a less-bulky design.

The Samsung F5500 Series

Those who appreciate a good clicker will love the TV remote that comes with this Samsung plasma. The best quality of this HDTV involves the features that come with it. It offers a Smart TV suite, Web browser, upgraded remote, and more to consumers. However, for the $2,800 MSRP, you could get a lot more TV. It does offer active 3D, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Another excellent feature of this TV is that it is energy efficient.

The bezel of this plasma set is black with a clear plastic trim around the edges. The stand is something to see. It has a four-pronged appearance and looks rather cheap. You can grab the feet and turn them in your hands. This seems like it would pose a problem, but gravity holds it down on the stand quite well. However, the TV does swivel. The standard remote is the Smart Touch Remote Control. It features a touchpad that is responsive. It also offers a microphone, so you can do a voice search through the menu.

Pros:

• Excellent features for the price


• Excellent performance


• Very good black levels


• Smart TV


• Web browser


• Active 3D


• Energy efficient

Cons:

• Horrible bright room picture


• Inaccurate color


• Poor sound

Bottom Line:

This is a decent plasma TV, but it has a lot of issues. The horrible bright room performance is enough for many consumers to not use the TV. Since most people would rather not watch TV in the dark, this TV is not a good value with the features.

The Vizio P2ui-B Series: A Budget 4K HDTV

The Vizio P2ui-B series is one of the few budget 4K resolution TVs available, and it shows in some ways, such as the lackluster TV remote and design. However, the picture quality looks far from cheap. For gamers, it offers very low input lag, even compared to plasma screens. Its picture quality is also pretty good for a $2,000 4K TV. The included features are also decent, which include Smart TV suite, HDMI inputs, 4K streaming capabilities, and the usual connections (USB, Component, and Composite).

The TV offers a minimalistic design that is definitely not top of the line, but it also does not look as cheap as a $200 budget TV. This series is much thicker than many other HDTVs, due to the direct backlighting, which is a drawback to its design. The outside bezel is also thicker, and it is a dark, featureless gray. The remote that comes with this HDTV is mostly featureless. It does not offer backlighting, the keys are close together, and the keys around the cursor make using it difficult. It does offer a QWERTY keyboard that works quite well, which makes navigating the smart TV suite easy.

Pros:

• 4K resolution at a cheap price


• Deep black levels and good contrast


• Color accuracy is good and video processing is okay


• Very low input lag


• Excellent features

Cons:

• Video processing makes picture worse at times


• Picture too sharp


• Screen artifacts

Bottom Line:

This 4K TV is a good one, especially for those who are budget conscious. Many of the video processing issues will hopefully be addressed in a future software update.

Vizio and Their Excellent TVs: The M1d-A2R

The Vizio M1d-A2R and the TV remote for it seem to have little in common, which is odd for this TV brand. The TV itself is an exceptional value for just under $2,000 for a 55-inch screen. The brand was once considered a budget one, in line with TCL and other similar brands. This first TV in the M series is one of the models that are making strides towards a more high-end style. For the price, this Vizio HDTV offers an excellent picture and a nice set of features.

Prior to this model, most Vizio TVs looked cheap. This one does not at all. It has a barely-there bezel that resembles the bezel of a smartphone. The ends are brushed aluminum, rivaling many of LG's HDTV designs. Even the Vizio logo is subtle at the bottom right corner of the TV. Its stand is simple, yet effective, and leaves the TV looking similar to a computer monitor. However, the remote that comes with the M1d-A2R is less than stunning. It looks promising, with it being a good size and having all the buttons in the right places, but its performance underwhelms. It has backlighting, but no dedicated button, so you have to press blindly for it to work. It is also sluggish, and it freezes.

Pros:

• Great value


• Excellent picture quality


• Good shadow detail


• Deep black levels


• Great processing


• Smart TV suite


• Nice design

Cons:

• Some apps are sluggish


• Remote is not great


• Has a slight red push


• Screen is very reflective

Bottom Line:

This is a great TV to own. The design and the features included, with the generally low price tag, are a win.

A Review of the LG LA6200 Series

For an expensive HDTV, the LG LA6200 Series disappoints with a poor picture and standard TV remote compared to the remotes shipped with their nicer TVs. Even though it has an almost $2,000 price tag, this LCD HDTV is considered a mid-range model. It offers many good features, but features alone do not make a TV worth buying, unless it can make you coffee or something cool like that.

This LG HDTV looks like an excellent piece of electronic luxury when it is turned off. Is has a modern style with a thin, aggressive silver bezel. The stand also has the same silver brushed finish, which looks so very sleek. The remote is standard, but, for $80 more, you could upgrade to a so-called smart remote. So, looks-wise, LG has it covered with the luxurious look of this HDTV. However, when it is turned on the problems start. It has a picture quality that leaves much to be desired.

Pros:

• Beautiful exterior


• Swivel stand


• Excellent Smart TV suite


• Accurate color


• 3D ready with 4 sets of glasses


• Adjustable picture settings

Cons:

• Poor value for the money


• Subpar picture quality


• Black levels too light


• Bad video processing


• Poor 3D image

Bottom line:

If you want a beautiful HDTV for looks, this is it. However, if you want a TV that is a good value and that works well, look elsewhere. The picture quality is very subpar compared to the price. The picture quality lacks contrast and definition, which is not a good thing when you're paying almost $2,000 for a TV.

About the Samsung UNF6300 Series

The Samsung UNF6300 series is another mid-range set that offers a decent mixture of features and solid picture quality, but lacks an advanced TV remote. Overall, this LED LCD TV has much to offer with a price that is slightly over $2,000 for a 55-inch model. The series ranges from 32 inches, all the way to 60 inches. Aside from great TVs such as the Panasonic E60 or Vizio M series, this TV offers almost as good of a value, which is a lot to say for a non-plasma set.

This LED LCD TV offers a unique look that makes it look pricier than it is. It has a thin, black bezel with transparent edging. The edges of the bezel are rounded, leaving a sleek outline of the HDTV. It has a spider stand, dressed in a light gray color. The stand looks nice, but feels cheap-- to the extent that you might feel safer mounting the TV to the wall. The very standard remote is cluttered with many buttons. However, it does offer easy access to many features, including cable box control and Smart TV features.

Pros:

• Smart TV suite


• Built-in Wi-Fi


• 120 Hz refresh rate


• Great picture quality


• Accurate color


• Excellent quality video processing


• IR blaster remote


• Cable box control


• Modern design


• Good sound quality

Cons:

• Light black levels


• Flimsy stand


• Dark areas look bluish

Bottom Line:

This LED LCD TV presents a great value for the price. Its picture quality is better than many other similar and higher priced HDTVs.

The Small, but Decent Sony KDL-400A

The Sony KDL-400A is a small 32-inch TV with an equally compact TV remote. The TV is very affordable, at under $300, compared to most of what Sony offers. Though it's not a huge TV, it is perfect for a small game room or for a child's bedroom. It offers a decent picture quality for a low-priced TV, although it is not the best out there. However, it has the best sound compared to TVs of a similar price range. It has an LED LCD screen, but it lacks features, such as Smart TV.

This KDL might cost little, but the set itself does not look cheap. Its base and bezel have a mirror-like finish. The bezel is very thin, similar to many of the higher end HDTVs. The compact remote doesn’t have too many buttons, and the buttons it does have are all highly usable. It even has a dedicated set of buttons for the built-in media player.

Pros:

• Solid black levels


• Low price, decent value


• Good color saturation


• Excellent sound quality


• Sleek and modern design


• Decent remote


• Great shadow detail


• Includes a USB port

Cons:

• No Smart TV features


• TV menu does not look good


• No 3D technology


• No de-judder processing


• 120Hz processing looks more like 60Hz

Bottom Line:

This small TV is excellent for a spare room or for a child’s room. It is not a TV to use for playing video games, but those who just want an extra TV for watching movies will enjoy it. It is not the best value out there, but it is one of the best TVs for under $300 that you will find in this size.

The Samsung UNH6400: Good TV with a Big Price

The Samsung UNH6400 is an HDTV that is almost worth buying for the TV remote. This TV is a mid-range model, with many of the bells and whistles you can expect from the $1,000+ price tag. Its Smart TV suite has many more apps than many of the competitors. The picture quality is excellent for the price, but the sound quality does not measure up. However, it does have active 3D technology and comes with 2 sets of 3D glasses.

The bezel on this TV is so thin that it seems to provide the whole-picture look. The bezel is all black, and there is no chrome in sight. However, the stand is chrome, but it does let the TV itself swivel. The model is on the thicker side, at 2.5 to 2.8 inches. The included remote is the Smart Touch Remote. It is a small motion remote that is small enough to feel good in the palm of the hand. Navigation is fluid and easy, which is better than most remotes. The only downside is that many functions require the use of an on-screen remote.

Pros:

• Excellent minimalistic design


• Awesome remote control


• Smart TV suite that offers a lot


• Accurate color


• Good bright room image


• Active 3D technology and 2 pairs of glasses


• Great image processing

Cons:

• For the price, picture quality could be better


• Bad sound quality


• Black levels too light


• Smart TV suite offers almost too many apps

For a decent quality TV, the price tag is almost worth it. The remote is wonderful, it has a wide range of features, and the design is very sleek.

Best Picture: The LG EC9300 Series

The LG EC9300 Series offers one of the best HDTV pictures for an affordable price. It comes with a modified TV remote that owes its design to the motion clickers other luxury TVs offer. It’s one of the thinnest TVs, and ranges in price from $3,000 to $3,500, with models starting with the 55-inch size. The series blew the picture of plasma TVs out of the water, as well as any other LED/LCD screens.

What many reviewers did not like was the curved screen. However, the TV itself is razor thin. Most of the TV measures just a quarter inch thick, but the center of the back bulges out to 1 1/2 inches thick, to house the speakers and other hardware. The curve itself is not drastic, but it is obvious, especially when viewed from an angle. The stand is curved, too, and adds to the beauty of the design. The remote is small and fits well in the hand. It has a few main buttons and a scroll wheel that works quite well.

Pros:

• Best picture of 2014


• Excellent black levels and bright whites


• Very thin


• Accurate color


• Weighs only 30 pounds


• OLED TV


• Cursor remote

Cons:

• Pricey


• The video processing is lacking


• Color accuracy could be better


• Curved screen

The bottom line is this TV is one of the best available. Its picture quality surpasses all plasma TVs, and it is likely to sport the best picture, compared to even the newest TVs. Though the screen is curved, many people can look past it when considering the sheer picture quality.

The Panasonic AS530 Series: A Good Mid-Range Model

The Panasonic AS530 offers some competition among the mid-range LCD HDTV manufacturers. The sleek HDTV and its trusty wand TV remote offer a wide range of features not normally seen in larger TV models retailing at under $1,000. Panasonic took great care making this TV functional and extremely pleasing to the eye.

The AS530 comes with a razor-thin bezel with a shiny black finish and a skeletal pedestal stand. It comes with many of the expected features, but fails to include 3D. However, this new development tends to be the current trend, with many TV manufacturers phasing out 3D technology in 2014 and 2015. The remote control is a long black wand that offers many buttons. Luckily, the buttons all have a convenient placement, and it even contains a shortcut for Netflix. It also features a Swipe and Share ability, but you need an app for that.

Pros:

• Excellent pricing


• Attractive design


• Great off-angle viewing and screen uniformity


• Colors saturated well


• Decent remote


• Smart TV


• Built-in Wi-Fi

Cons:

• Colors are slightly off


• Smart TV system is hard to navigate


• No 3D


• No gaming mode


• Only 2 HDMI ports


• Lackluster sound


• No Spotify app

For under $1,000, this TV is well worth the purchase if you are not a heavy gamer. Gamers and 3D fans should be aware that this TV is not friendly to either. It does not offer 3D technology, and it lacks a gaming setting. Also, fewer inputs means that you are limited in the amount of peripherals you plug into it.

What Is 4K Technology?

With so many TVs on the market today, it is hard to determine which one is right for you. Do you need the smaller TV with the affordable price? Or do you need the one with the amazing TV remote to make your life easier? What about high definition? And what about 4K technology? The best thing you can do is learn about different TVs and their technology. Then, you can make an informed decision about which one is right for you.

4K technology is being talked about everywhere -- but what is it? Understanding 4K technology when it comes to your next TV can help you determine if this is the technology you need. 4K is a term used to reference ultra-high definition televisions. These TVs have about four times the detail of a full HD television. In simpler terms, 4K televisions have absolutely amazing picture quality.

With 4K technology, you can expect the picture to be almost like looking at a photograph. The detail is immaculate, the picture is smooth, and the texture of the images is amazing. Basically, the images you see will be almost as beautiful as in real life. With a 4K TV, you can also sit closer to the screen and not worry about seeing the pixels -- the technology really is that good.

4K TVs started out to be very expensive, but prices have come down since their release. You can get a decent 4K TV today for less than a grand. Just take your time, shop around, and choose the one that fits your needs and budget. If you ever need to replace your 4K TV's remote, contact us at Replacement Remotes.

Panasonic's Life+ Screen Lineup

To compete with the fast-paced HDTV industry, Panasonic created the Life+ Screen line of TVs, which boast impressive features and the ability to use them without the TV remote. The TV comes in 50 to 85-inch screens, catering to those with deeper pockets and a wish for a large television. The screen is backlit LED with a 4K display. The 4K resolution is said to look as good, if not better, than the resolution on the well-known retired plasma TVs.

Included with the Life+ Screen TVs is a remote control that has a built-in microphone for the voice recognition service. It is small, and looks similar to a cell phone, and it has a few radio buttons for different available services. In addition, the TV uses facial recognition. With this service, it can keep profiles for each TV user.

Pros:

• Easy to use interface and ability to search for content across all apps


• Profiles for each user


• Uses the cloud to save apps and information


• Shares content


• Good color saturation and image quality


• Budget price for the features


• 120 Hz and 4K resolution


• Swipe and share content


• Many apps

Cons:

• Too few HDMI ports


• TV is clunky


• No gaming mode


• Bad sound quality

The bottom line is that this is a great budget 4K HDTV. It is not made for gaming, or anyone who plans to use the apps heavily. The Smart TV features work as well as any other TV; however, the price point puts this way below the competition. Therefore, expect some less-advanced features.
