I have my TV hanging on the wall approximately 40 inches off the floor. I don't have the issues of seeing the controllers LED reflection. Also I don't care about the LED during movies because if it's that obtrusive, I turn the controller off. Even if I don't, it shuts itself off after being idle 10 minutes anyway. If it really really bothered me, I could just put some tape over it. BUT! There should be a way to shut it off. But then again. My Keurig doesn't have an option to function without its LEDs. My smoke detectors are worse. You can't shut them off, and they blink! My TVs all have the intrusive LEDs. My thermostat, my battery chargers, my PC, and Laptops.......I'm surrounded by LEDs that the manufacturer has deemed it their job to decide whether they want them on all the time or not. Without my say so! I'd hate to be those that find the light offensive. It must be maddening running around the house putting tape on everything.
