Shedding Light on PC-to-TV Entertainment

According to a recent Parks Associates survey of US Smart TV owners, 49 percent are highly interested in alternatives to traditional remote controls. “As the amount of content grows, it becomes more challenging to navigate through all of the options,” said Barbara Kraus, Director, Research, Parks Associates. “New and innovative ways to navigate, such as Logitech’s Illuminated Living Room Keyboard, have the potential to improve the TV experience by providing a user-friendly way to discover content and control the TV.”

While relaxing at home, the Logitech Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard K830 lets you sit back and browse your connected TV from up to 33 feet away, thanks to its advanced wireless connection. And, with backlit keys that automatically dim or brighten based on the amount of light in the room, you can use the keyboard day or night. There’s also no need to use a separate mouse since there is a smooth and responsive touchpad built into the keyboard.
