SPECIAL MENTION: Most universal remotes feature an inscrutable setup process that takes more time to complete than it does to get up and change the channel yourself. Logitech’s Harmony Express remote ($249.99) leverages an app and Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant for an easier setup process and friction-free control of both your home and your home theater. —Patrick Lucas Austin
