I wouldn’t actually support micromanaging tech like that. It would be a nightmare.

I use both. The back is barely accessible on a stand and not even sort of accessible wall mounted. It is not an acceptable place for controls under any circumstances.

The point of controls are only when the remote is missing, but CEC sucks. I don’t know if it’s because the standards are shit or enforcement is shit, but the end result is tech as terrible and inconsistent as Bluetooth.
