In my last post I wrote all about the current TV wall mount fad that is going on. With the digital transition nearly upon us flat panel TV popularity and sales have gone through the roof and the result has been a need for TV stands or some other sort of device for placement of new TVs. This resulted in the current fad of TV wall mounts and I am here to tell you what will be next.
The next future of placing and storing your TV will be in TV lift cabinets. A TV lift cabinet is an ordinary looking cabinet that is equipped with and opening door on top and a motorized lift mechanism that takes your flat panel TV out of the cabinet when in use and stores it inside the cabinet when not in use, all with the push of a button.
Currently TV lift cabinet sales have not quite taken off because the prices for them are to high. They run in the $1,500-$2,000 range but, like everything in the electronics industry, they will eventually drop and then sales will begin to skyrocket.
Have you ever seen the show Rev Run? In this show you see a glimpse of what will even come after the TV lift cabinet. It will be a TV lift that stores your TV under your bed and at the click of a button pulls it out and display it at the foot of your bed for you. Now that's cool!!!
One of the biggest advantages I see in a lift cabinet is that you can hide your TV in the cabinet so you don't have to worry about thieves seeing your large, beautiful, expensive TV and having to worry about them breaking in to steal it.
If you have been considering purchasing a TV wall mount or TV stand my recommendation is that you stick with your old TV stand (if you can make it work) and wait for TV lifts to drop in price. One this happens you will be able to purchase of them and skip the whole TV wall mount fad. It will like skipping from a black and white TV straight to a HDTV in the blink of an eye.
