Modern LG TVs have inputs for just about any type of player component or source you can imagine. Additionally, most LG TVs include a universal remote that you can use not only to control the television, but the external components as well. Therefore, if you connected a Phillips Blu-ray player to your LG TV, you can use the television remote to operate the device -- and other sources as well -- instead of letting multiple remotes clutter your coffee table or viewing area.
