I like my Sony RM-VLZ620. Picked up a couple from Amazon for $12 over Christmas. I see they're back up to $20. Strength is great, due to 3 leds. Works with my Ortek VRC-1100 as well as the re-branded Adesso ARC-1100. The remote is a few years old, so I was pleasantly surprised that I could use a pre-programmed code for the Samsung Smart TV we got this Christmas.

HTH,
