You’re probably wondering if it’s worth the upgrade, right? And with the prices comparable to other quality TVs, the jump to a higher resolution TV might be worth it.

What Do You Call Your TV Remote Control?

“Honey, can you pass the blipper?”

All of us have grown up watching TV and it’s only natural that we start to develop some unique names to call our TV remote control.

For some, the “zapper” is their go-to name for the device that changes their channels. While others refer to it fondly by giving it a proper name like Dave or Fred.

Whatever you call it, as long as everyone around you knows what you mean, you can sit comfortably with your favorite TV snack food in hand and enjoy a night of fun TV entertainment.
