Media wall with 3 TVs

I have 3 Samsung TV set up. All 3 remotes turn TVs on/off. Didn’t know if there is a bypass for this or some way to get each one on its own frequency. Kind of a pain in arse

Couple of options. But this is where DIY can go wrong fast.
Logitech Harmony Hub can be set to have the flashers go to 2 of the TVs with the hub hitting the third. This would probably be difficult to setup and look good if the TVs are wall mounted without any type of shelving underneath.
GlobalCache itach receiver would be a little better. You can get a WiFi to IR receiver for about $100 and run a separate IR flasher to each tv, maybe try eBay for a used one. You can find it about half off. Then you'll have to choose which control system you want to pair with it- myuremote is relatively cheap and effective.
Harmony would allow you to have a physical remote that you could possibly program each distinct setup. It would also work with an app.
The other one would be app-only (but from their website could eventually be included in a Control4 system with a physical remote if you wanted to go that route)
Would you mind listing all the devices, doing a little better job describing the way they're mounted (flat against a wall, shelving underneath, any exposed wires for power, are the TVs hooked to LAN or wifi, which exact model are the TVs....you aren't going to give too much detail about something like this)
Some TVs are getting better about IP control natively and that may be an option. Otherwise, the above two options are going to be the cheapest DIY ones that I can think of.
