I don't want to imagine how circumstantial it has to be to accomplish all the numerous functions of a modern TV with the left remote.

The remote of the first TV I can remember had only 3 rocker switches (channel up/down, volume up/down, brightness up/down).

How glorious it would be to have devices made in Denmark today, instead of China...

You'll be surprised by how technologically advanced many Chinese factories are compared to Denmark.

Of course, if factory workers use hands and are sweaty, it will be called a sweatshop in China, and in Denmark it will be called a charming traditional factory.

@wingfeathers: no problem, but are you willing to pay the much higher price?

Uh? Yes, that's what I thought ...
