Technology Purchases

By:


If you are anything like me, you prefer to leave all Technology purchases to the Man of the House. Not that I cant do it after all, I did buy my own ipod and figure out how to use it! But generally speaking, I figure its just part of a mans DNA to know WHAT to buy, WHERE to buy it, and HOW it works. Besides, I dont want to hear about it if I make a mistake!) Imagine his surprise when he walked in to find a new 52 plasma TV lift cabinet for his birthday! I decided to follow the WHAT/WHERE/HOW formula myself. Try it yourself!

WHAT TV lift technology has been around for years. First introduced as a state-of-the art innovation to luxury hotels and casinos, it is now accessible to the average Jane. The concept is simple: When you want to watch TV, push of a button and your television pops up from a piece of furniture (ours is housed in a beautiful mahogany armoire) and with another button push, disappears when TV time is over!

WHERE TV Lifts are available from a variety of sources; from your local home theater retailer to reputable internet manufacturers. I recommend doing your research online first. Youll find numerous reliable websites available at your fingertips. (This is also an excellent way to comparison shop!) Once you have narrowed your search, visit a bricks-and mortar store. Ask to see different models of the TV lifts action. Look for ease of operation, noise level and dcor options. What I mean by that is, is the TV lift housed within a cabinet or console? This was important to me, as I didnt want our TV to become the rooms point. I chose a custom-built TV lift cabinet, which holds all of our TV stuff the cable box, TiVo, and all their accompanying wires!)

HOW TV lift operating systems vary. Each has its own set of pros and cons, so make your decision based upon your own needs assessment, including your budget, warranties, etc. Some options include:

1) Rack and pinion operation;
2) Scissor-lift technology;
3) Telescopic lift design;
