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. Harmony 1100Elan Home SystemsAny others that y'all may recommend taking a look-see?

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.

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"....

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.....
