-UPDATE: THIS CONTEST ENDED ON 8/24, STAY TUNED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER!-

With technology comes remotes…lots and lots of remotes.  TV, Stereo, Cable, DVD, Blu-Ray, Wii, PS2, PS3… and while technology is good, the half-dozen remotes needed to turn on your TV really arent.  That’s why Yamaha created the ground-breaking neoHD, a new device that simplifies your entire entertainment system.  One remote, one on-screen interface, complete control.

You stand before a friend’s 72 inch flat screen and pick up the remote to turn on this glorious testament to man’s technological advancements. However, as you press the power button, the stereo comes blasting from behind! No problem, you quickly shut that off and pick up the next remote- hit power. The fan above you starts whizzing. Argh!! When will this nightmare end!?

Right. Now.

Yamaha has created the ground-breaking neoHD, a gizmo that simplifies your entire entertainment system. One remote, one on-screen interface, complete control.  If you haven’t seen it already, check out the Yamaha neoHD Opportunity in Socialspark.
