The new remote Prestigo SRT9320 combines a 2.8-inch color touch screen on the top half with hard buttons on the lower portion. The screen handles both channel favorites (replete with familiar icon logos) and customized commands. The SRT9320 can control up to 20 devices, and it’s completely programmable as-is–including learning modes and multidevice macros–without the need to connect it to a PC.

While the Prestigo SRT9320 has a premium $249 price tag, it’s missing such high-end niceties as RF control and a charging cradle. And while Philips touts the fact that you don’t need a PC to program the SRT9320, we’ve found that to be a big advantage when dealing with sophisticated multidevice macros (something the task-based Logitech Harmony models handle with aplomb). By comparison, the Logitech Harmony One also has a touch-screen/keypad design (and a rechargeable battery), and it can be found for less than $200.
