Xsight review; score 8 out of 10 !!

Absolute Gadget

If there is one thing that upsets the missus it is remote control sprawl. There are a lot of the type "one remote to control them all" but for one reason or another the fail to live up to expectations. One for All hopes that its Xsight Touch will put paid to those fears. Most households will testify that once you get yourself a decent telly, a DVD/Blu-ray player, an amp, etc. you soon have have more plastic floating around your room than Jordan.

One for All Xsight Touch remote control

Computeractive

One For All has been making 'universal' remote controls for years, but recently it has released two high-end models, the Xsight Colour, which we looked at recently and the Xsight Touch.

The Touch has a touch-sensitive screen, similar to that on the excellent Logitech Harmony 1100. But while the Harmony costs nearly £300 the Touch costs a more reasonable £130. It has lots of physical buttons but there's also a small touch-sensitive colour screen at the top of the device. This is content-sensitive, which is to say that what's on it changes depending on what you're doing. Setting it up required installing some software on our computer. Instead of supplying a CD the company requires users to download this from the internet, but it was no trouble.
