A new way to display your plasma television

You probably all already know, but the flat screen tv market is growing! The huge demand for LCD and plasma televisions has not only greatly added to the traditional AV market, it has created a new conundrum for consumers - where do they put it? While the primary options have been the widely available floor- and wall-mounting solutions which we all know, there is an increasing demand for more advanced and automated concealment options.

As years go on plasma tv screens only get bigger, many do not want to feel that their living space is solely taken over by a big screen. A simple range of tv stands does not help the situation. This has led to a growth in the range of concealment devices available to service the new breed of consumer who desires that added 'wow factor' from their home entertainment experience.

Flat screen lift options

Flat screen concealment lifts are a massively impressive and effective way to hide a screen when not in use, and also offer benefits to both the installer and consumer. TV lifts are available as single mechanisms where a custom or existing cabinet can be made or modified to include a flat screen, or as fully-automated pieces of AV furniture that conceal the tv when not in use. There are more than one drive and motor systems on the market, including rack and pinion, lead screw and strap systems.

All of these methods works effectively at generating a quiet, smooth, and effective movement to move the screen out of the furniture and into view. Each has its pros and cons, and often, it is the size of screen or location of the television lift that will ultimately decide which method is the most appropriate. There are instances where one system may be preferred over another, such as marine applications where a rack system is be more suitable. As a normal rule however, all of these systems are exceptionally effective in efficiently raising a tv screen into view.

Conclusion

The flat screen tv lift is the perfect way to personalize and incorporate an LCD or plasma television screen into any home, and its instillation process need not be a daunting thought. By simply obeying the manufacturer's size guidelines, and making sure that you are in tune with the customer's requirements, thus creating a beautifully-concealed piece of AV furniture can be as simple as fitting an in ceiling speaker. Well, nearly!
