Yes, a monitor - a product that at 45”+ is missing for consumers and your only option is commercial screens.
Remotes - I find that I want one simple remote for 90% of the time.
Having vendor specific remote apps in my phone is vastly better than having three of four separates on the rare occasions I need to tweak something.
I prefer the apple remote to harmonys et al.
- noja 7y ago> vastly better Until three years later when the app isn't being updated anymore, or the vendor removed all the functionality you used (hello Sonos)
- jordanbeiber 7y agoWell, if you look at the features this specific remote app is designed to control, what you describe is "vendor out of business". Sure, that is a risk, as always. Ideally vendors would open source code like this. Not sure why they so seldom do. Some cultural corporate thing I guess. This is something we as consumers are always vulnerable to, the more "smarts" are built in to products.
- noja 7y agoWe need a standard.
- jpindar 7y agoThe site refers to the app as "Iron Cast App (open-source)" but I wasn't able to find the source code.
- devicetray0 7y agoThat's probably because it's a kickstarter

- jordanbeiber 7y agoCool, but: - only 1080p, which might still be fine - Insignia is exclusive to the US and north American market.
