Which would be fine, that is just not obvious in the site. It'd also be nice if it was compatible with universal remotes.

  I guess we're a specific type of user that this screen is trying to target. Myself and several people I know have been looking for something like this for years. The only consumer type products like this right now are projectors, and they certainly are not suitable everywhere.

    Again, this remote app only lets you control color profiles. Not sure how often you do that, but I never touch those settings after initial calibration. It's been 10 years with my current plasma.

  You still do that this way, it's just that your physical button will be for the device plugged into it rather than the TV itself. Instead of turning on the TV with a physical button, you'll turn on your Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, Blu-Ray player or whatever you have plugged in. That device will then turn on the TV using HDMI.
