Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Large screen remotes...

Has anybody ventured into the large screen remotes yet? I've seen the Harmony 1100 in the stores and have seen the Elan in action, a very neat remote. I really like our Harmony 880 but the buttons and screen can really get small after a while.

Any others that y'all may recommend taking a look-see?

Get some bifocals old man

I do, matter of fact I just picked up a pair of new glasses the other day. Lost mine a week back whenever we were looking at some fields from a helicopter, thought I dropped them out of the door and they were gone forever ... one of the workers found them in the grass where we parked the helicopter a couple of days ago, of course this was after I spent $800 on a new prescription pair of glasses and prescription sunglasses.

Now I have three pair and still have a hard time seeing the screen on the 880.

I like my lasik vision.

That would have bought onehellofa remote.

Optomogolist explained to me that lasik wouldn't do me any good, I have good distant eyesight and the lasik would give up some of that for a "little" more reading ability.

I needed my glasses and prescription updated anyway Rick, it's been about three years since last exam.

I am dreading the day I have to get glasses and it is fast approaching, smaller print on signs and some TV shows is getting a little blurry Maybe I can use that to justify buying the bigger TV sooner

I had excellent vision 20-10 in both eyes until I hit about 45. Then the change seemed so sudden that I thought I had a brain tumor.....the Opthamologist says he hears the tumor story a lot. He told me "just be happy you lasted until you were 45"....

I had my eyes start going bad @ 39 and every year the bifocals get stronger

SO that I can carry on with my hobbies, I now wear contacts for long distance and my wife's favorite expression "Cheaters" for reading or up close work. Every year and a half or so I have to up the strength of the "Cheaters". I have a buddy that I Turkey hunt with - his eyesight is so bad that last year when he had a Tom come in to his decoys, he blew the head off his decoy by mistake.....
