Logitech Harmony 1000 review

By David Carnoy (cnet.com)

Logitech's first tablet-style universal learning remote incorporates both IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) wireless operation and includes a rechargeable battery and a docking station. Compared with other high-end tablet-style remotes, it's less ...

For those on tighter budgets, the Harmony 1000 is going to appear pricey, especially when you consider that no RF module is included. In addition, this model lacks some of the design flexibility (you can't design your own buttons or customize screen ...

Though it lacks real multiroom capabilities and may not offer quite the flexibility of competing high-end tablet-style remotes, the swanky Logitech Harmony 1000 can be programmed by the average consumer, which saves the cost of hiring a home installer ...

Overall, however, we did like the Harmony 1000 better than the Logitech...

Logitech Harmony 1000

By Joe Eitel (devhardware.com)

When Logitech released the Harmony 1000 in early 2007, they were targeting those people looking for an easy to use tablet-style remote control. Read on to see how programming the device matches up to its actual operation.

The Harmony 1000 also has some advantages over other tablet-style remotes on the market. This remote, in most cases, is much less expensive than the competition. The MSRP of the Harmony 1000 is $499, but I have seen it around the Internet for right ...

Logitech Harmony 1000

By Tim Smith (pcmag.com)

The Harmony 1000 is one slickly crafted remote. It's got a big, beautiful, color touch-screen LCD that's roughly 3 by 2 inches. The case also has a nice brushed-metal top with several hard buttons, too. But although the device looks really nice, I ...

Beautiful remote. Easy to program. Large database of supported devices. Comes with a charging station that displays the remote handsomely.

Does not come with a RF receiver. Buttons on the LCD are close together and cannot be moved.

The Logitech Harmony 1000 is easy on the eyes with its big, bright LCD touch screen and brushed-metal styling. You also get the same legendary ease of use and dead-simple setup Harmony remote users know and love. That's why it's a shame this device ...

The Harmony 1000 uses the same computer-based installation software as...

"unreliable and slow to respond"

By bebo25801306 (cnet.com)

This product sucks...For a total investment o... 

once you get use to navigating the remote's menus the touch screen is very nice and you can, if you have the time and patience, program favorites and customize your own buttons.

SLOW-It only works part of the time, for expample, if you rewind on your dvr good luck getting it to stop before you nearly throw the $500 piece of equipment across the room and get you original remote to do the job. Also, the RF reciever sucks too!

"Do not buy this remote"

By Hippias_major (cnet.com)

While this remote looks great from the pictur... 

Setup was very easy, as long as you're connecting to a Windows machine. The setup software allegedly works on Mac, but I was never able to get it functioning. And I am a geek.

The materials used to build this remote are exceptionally poor. The touch screen is flimsy and does not respond well. As was mentioned in the review, the remote offers little value when trying to control more than 6 devices.

Manufacturer's Description

The Logitech Harmony 1000 features a brilliant 3.5" color touch screen that allows for one-touch activity-based control of even the most sophisticated A/V components. Say goodbye to the wasted time and unnecessary complexity of multiple remotes controlling multiple devices; Logitech's patented Smart State Technology makes it easy! Control your HDTV, adjust aspect ratios, or change sound modes - there are no complicated macros to program. Just press an on-screen activity icon and Harmony does...
