A remote I could actually use.
We recently got rid of our old but well built and well designed Loewe CRT TV Everything about this TV was the reason you can’t fault the Germans/Europeans for building great products. The menus on the TV explained everything in full English sentences, no abbreviations. The thing I’ll most miss is the simple and easy to use remote that shipped with it.

Notice there isn’t any buttons for switching digital/analog, switching on subtitles or going to “theatre” mode. It’s just the buttons everyday people need to use their TV without looking at a remote. Why do Sony or Samsung feel you need every aspect of the TV at your fingertips? All I want to do it change the volume, change the channel or switch off the TV!
