The Magic of a TV Lift
Have you ever see a cabinet in a movie or maybe even in an office where a TV miraculously rises up from within a hidden compartment? A TV lift is the device that makes it happen. It is bolted directly to the TV so it can’t fall and become damaged. The lift is operated by remote control, allowing it to be operated from anywhere in the room. Once raised, some have swivels allowing the screen to be turned so everyone can watch the program. The entire device is hidden in the cabinet so no one sees it. This also protects the TV from overly-boisterous children, a careless guest at a party, or even a clumsy thief.
When looking to purchase a TV lift it is important to know what to look for. Some models come fairly cheaply, but are made with plastic gears that can break easily. Then there are other models that are fairly expensive with rack and pinion lift technology. Those are made to last, but how big of a cabinet do you really want to have? A lift with rack and pinion lift technology requires a fairly large cabinet. Another thing you want to be aware of is the noise level of the TV lift. You might want to watch a movie after putting the children to bed, but if the TV lift sounds like a 747 taking off they won’t be asleep for long! A telescoping lift such as the one offered by Nexus 21 TV Lift Systems are only 5 decibels. That’s less than a whisper and sure to guarantee that the little ones stay asleep and afford you a relaxing movie night…at least once in a while. You will also want to find out what the warranty is. One year is good, two is better, but if you pay attention you will find one company that stands behind their product for a full five years.
You may wonder where you can put a TV lift. Just about anywhere. Imagine the many possibilities including offices, boardrooms, bedrooms, RV’s, boats, home theatres, and just about anywhere else you would put a TV. It is no longer necessary to make the television the focal point of the room. TV lift technology allows any room to multi-task from its usual purpose to a TV room at the push of a button, literally. Even the area formerly known as the back porch, now the “all-seasons room”, can benefit from a TV lift. Imagine you are out on the back porch enjoying a beautiful fall evening and suddenly you realize that it is time for your favorite TV program to begin. There is no need to rush in the house and let the beautiful fresh air escape you, just press the button and enjoy your outdoor theatre.
