In late September, CNN announced that a drastic flat-screen TV price chop is on its way, which means more people will be able to afford a quality LCD flat-screen TV. The drop is due in part to a historically large oversupply of LCD TV panels.

Most of the price cuts will come before this year’s holiday shopping season, so be ready to save some serious cash. Early estimates say that the “new” average price of a 32-inch LCD TV will be between $249 and $299 dollars, with some screaming deals floating around at $199.

If you’re excited about saving money on a new LCD TV, you will also be excited to know that you can save money on a flat-screen TV lift cabinet from ImportAdvantage. With factory-direct pricing, customers save an average of 50% off retail prices. By buying direct from ImportAdvantage, you cut out the “middleman,” which puts more money in your pocket.

So check out ImportAdvantage’s full line of handcrafted TV lift cabinets and protect your new LCD TV this season.

With the announcement earlier this month that Samsung is eyeing Google’s Android operating system for producing web-connected TVs, a new market for smart TVs will soon reach a peak, says a chief of Samsung’s television division.

Samsung Electronics became the world’s largest technology company in the beginning of 2010, so they certainly have the ability to drive new markets. The company estimates that the smart TV market will peak around 2012, only a couple years away.

With all the new hyper-convenient TVs that will begin to pop up, it will be another opportunity for ImportAdvantage to showcases its convenient and quiet pop-up TV cabinets, which are also “smart” in that they operate with a one-touch remote control.

ImportAdvantage always keeps up with the latest TV technologies, but the company shows its customers time and again that regardless of how advanced electronic technologies become, a quality handcrafted TV lift cabinet is the only way to keep them safe, secure and so easily accessible.

People are always coming up with cool and unique ways to entertain their guests, and there is no shortage of great outdoor bar and grills in people’s backyards. Now your backyard can be even more eye-catching with a custom TV lift cabinet that uses an ImportAdvantage Uplift TV mechanism.

Imagine watching NFL on an autumn Sunday afternoon while grilling burgers and drinking a cold beverage. Carpenters love working with our quiet and reliable Uplift mechanisms for all kinds of unique projects. Now you can dream up your ultimate backyard “tailgating party,” or provide some extra entertainment for your houseguests by impressing them with an outdoor flat-screen TV lift cabinet.

If you’re worried about cold weather in your area, people who have already built their dream TV lift cabinet made theirs small and portable (resembling our foot of the bed TV lift cabinets) so they could move the TV inside but still view it through a picture window or sliding glass doors.

Have you ever considered having a custom TV lift cabinet built for your home? Tell us about your grand plans!

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced a reminder to all parents that they take extra precautions in their homes to inspect and secure TVs, furniture and appliances. The CPSC estimates that, on average, one child dies every two weeks due to tip-overs.

Between 2000 and 2008, the CPSC received reports that nearly 200 children eight years old and younger died from tip-overs, and 93 percent of those 200 children were five years old and younger.

Astoundingly, 16,000 children five years old and younger were treated between 2000 and 2008 in emergency rooms due to injuries sustained by TV, furniture and appliance tip-overs.

Thankfully, ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets offer the safety and security to prevent accidental tip-overs by keeping TVs and media players tucked away in handcrafted cabinets. The stable, quiet TV lift mechanisms ImportAdvantage uses in its pop-up TV cabinets can hold up to 150-pound flat-screen TVs while also keeping them secured at the base, preventing accidental tipping.

Moderna TV Lift Cabinet

The Moderna TV Lift Cabinet is a work of customizable art, finished on five sides which allows it to work at the foot of the bed, in the center of a room or against a wall.

Constructed with alder wood and a cathedral cherry veneer, the cabinet is shipped fully assembled and ready for use. It comes standard with the Uplift 3250 lift mechanism and built-in Infrared Relay System, which allows you to retain full remote access to your media players while the cabinet doors are closed.

The Moderna TV Lift Cabinet can hold a TV that weighs up to 130 pounds and measures up to 44 1/2” wide, 5 1/2” deep and 28” high.

Although ImportAdvantage’s line of fine, handcrafted TV lift cabinets are incredibly stylish and affordable (due to factory-direct pricing), sometimes our customers, especially carpenters, are more interested in purchasing our super reliable Uplift mechanism so they can build a custom TV lift cabinet for their home.

The reasons they prefer ImportAdvantage’s lift mechanisms are plentiful. The Uplift mechanisms ImportAdvantage designs and manufactures are very quiet. Why would anyone want their custom TV lift cabinet to “whir and grind” when it’s displaying their flat-screen television?

Carpenters also look for our Uplift mechanisms because they are maintenance-free, easy to install, extremely adaptable for nearly any cabinet style and offer fast extension.

The outstanding design of a custom TV lift cabinet by a talented carpenter should be the primary focus of the furniture, not a malfunctioning, loud lift mechanism, and ImportAdvantage is pleased to offer the best TV lift mechanism in the industry.

And don’t just take our word for it; check out the positive reviews our TV lift mechanisms have received.
