While this was occurring it prevented the stronger IR signals from the iMON remote from being regularly detected or processed. This incredible sensitivity does have a small caveat: it was found that some office fluorescent lighting (which has not been the cause of any trouble during testing in the past a particular desktop lamp usually has that distinction) caused the receiver to constantly detect an infrared signal and attempt to pass it through to the computer. The best performer of the pack was the Home Theater Master MX-500, which remained reliable up to an astonishing 9.0, with infrared detected all the way to level 12.0. However, with informal testing the iMON’s single infrared emitter scored 5.75, with the eye detecting infrared (even if it couldn’t be decoded) all the way to level 8.5! In comparison, with the same test the Sony RM-VL900 was functional to level 5.0, while the Philips ProntoPro TSU6000 scored a total of 5.5.

In fact, really sensitive! As the iMON is not a learning remote (the drivers can learn but the remote itself can only send one set of signals), I couldn’t make true use of our standard Menacing Thick Fluffy Blanket (MTFB) test, which requires a known code and a benchmark component for score consistency.

The iMON’s IR receiver eye appears to be quite sensitive.
