5 new IR remote controls from Phillips

Posted by admin on 12-23-2006 in
Apparently Phillips has an entire fleet of remote controls with built in SidesShow support. Go to http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?id=1336 and see it for yourself. Interesting enough, these remote controls do not have a build in LCD nor operate via radio. They seem to be classic Infrared remote controls with sideshow support. Also on this page you will find 3 types of USB IR receivers, a standalone model as well as a card module for internal use.

Looks like Phillips is banking on the fact that not all remote controlls needs an LCD. Definitevely Phillips will win a price war when such units are compared with more expensive remote controls with build-in color TFT displays.
