Recently, 3D technology has exploded on the big screen. It was only a matter of time until TV followed suit. The advances being made in 3D imagery are ever-evolving.  However the idea of watching programs on a 3D TV mounted in a TV lift cabinet may not appeal to everyone.

Reports from the Consumer Electronics Show highlight different forms of 3D entertainment that are in the early stages of development. Some systems require the consumer to sport 3D glasses similar to what you would wear to view a 3D Movie. Sometimes the glasses are more advanced and take on an appearance similar to a virtual reality head set.  The most intriguing technology in my opinion was a Sony television that alternated images hundreds of times per second to send different pictures to each eye – no glasses required! Imagine that in your TV lift cabinet! How far away this technology is from being commonplace is debatable. The introduction of new technology is further complicated by studies showing that consumers are holding on to their possessions (Flat panel TVs included) for longer than ever before.  The after effects of the recession combined with the trend of “going green” and producing less waste have made consumers more inclined than ever to make their possessions last.

What are your thoughts on the new wave of 3D TV technology? Will you follow the tech trend or stick with your tried and true flat panel until an upgrade is absolutely necessary?

Bermuda Run TV Lift Cabinet

1.)    Bring rattan wicker furniture Indoors- Rattan furniture has come a long way since your Grandmother’s circa 1950’s white wicker patio furniture.  Today there are many sophisticated styles of rattan wicker furniture that range from espresso to blonde finishes.  You can get sofas, chairs, night stands, and even a TV Lift Cabinet in rattan.  Try the Bermuda Run TV lift Cabinet to accomplish the island casual living lifestyle.

2.)    Use floor to ceiling windows – If you have an amazing view don’t hide it.  Show it off with floor to ceiling windows.  Who needs wall art if you have a spectacular view?  Plus large windows will allow for ample sunlight to shine through and brighten your living space.

3.)    Use plants – If you have a beautiful garden, why not carry it indoors?  Try adding a few hanging plants or flowers to your living room and kitchen.  Even if you do not have a green thumb, we recommend against using fake plants.  Instead try planting a Heartleaf Philodendron, otherwise known as the “sweetheart” plant.  It is extremely difficult to kill and will adapt to most environments.

4.)    Select natural flooring – carrying wood from your deck into your family room creates a seamless transition from one living space to another.  Try using bamboo or tiles that compliment your existing outdoor flooring.

5.)    Use outdoor lighting indoors – recently on a Devine Design episode Candice Olson used recessed outdoor floor lights in an indoor bathroom to create mood lighting around a spa tub.  Try using outdoor wall sconces or floor lights to carry through from your patio to your family room.  For social evening gatherings, your guests will feel like they are in five star luxury hotel.

TV lift cabinets are becoming more and more popular. The combination of a beautiful cabinet with the ability to hide your television inside is an idea that has appealed to consumers around the world. The first time I had ever heard of a TV lift cabinet was on an episode of the MTV show “Cribs”. The program featured this unbelievable foot of the bed cabinet that with the touch of a button, the flat-panel TV magically appeared from within. Similar cabinets began popping up on several episodes. Each episode featured different celebrities showing off their flashy new cabinet with the latest technology to hide their TV when not in use. Pretty soon, I was hearing about these TV lift cabinets on more than just programs broadcasting the luxurious gadgets of the rich and famous. These TV lift cabinets were on design shows, game shows and online. How did you discover TV lift cabinets? Was it on a TV show, in a magazine, through a friend? Share your TV lift cabinet story in the comments section below or send us an email at info@importadvantage.com.

Did you know that shipping furniture can be quite expensive and cost up to several hundred dollars for one piece of furniture?  Sadly, this cost is expected to increase in the next few months as gas prices keep climbing.  Many retail furniture companies have been forced to charge a shipping fee to customers to help cover the cost of shipping.  This can range from $100 up to 10% of sales price.  Imagine you have just purchased your TV lift cabinet, dining room table set and living room furniture for your new home for a total of $10,000.  Ten percent of that is $1,000 that you would have to pay just to ship your furniture!  Yowsers!

Well, I have some good news.  At ImportAdvantage, we offer FREE shipping and In-Home Placement.  Yes, you heard me right.  I said free shipping.

Your TV lift cabinet will be delivered and placed in the room of choice.  At which time the delivery people will unpack your TV lift cabinet in front of you, allowing the chance to inspect.  Once inspection is completed to your satisfaction, all packing material will be removed from your home.   Simple, easy and best of all free. Now how do you like them apples?

Hi all,

It is time to reveal the answer to our weekly Friday Trivia Contest.

New TV – check !  New TV Lift Cabinet – check!  Now it is time to select your new digital television service provider.

With the introduction of digital television, two main service providers have emerged into the television market and are growing rapidly.  In the last few years, Verizon and AT&T have both expanded their influence by entering into the television market with the new age of digital/HD television. Verizon has launched FiOS and AT&T has launched U-Verse®.   We have done some research on both providers and are now going to share with you are findings.

To sum up the table above here are the key findings.

Verizon uses fiber connections while AT&T uses their existing copper wiring connections.  Fiber is a much better product than copper for transmitting information.  In lay man terms, this means that during a bad storm, your image quality will not be affected and you can go about watching your favorite shows with no image interruptions.    FiOS trumps U-Verse® with fiber connection.

AT&T, however, does provide more affordable bundled packages than Verizon.  This is partly because Verizon must cover the cost of laying down new fiber connections which is time consuming and expensive.  To cover for the cost of this expense, they have slightly higher consumer pricing.  AT&T bundled packages are more affordable because they rely upon using their existing copper wiring to transmit information.  AT&T does plan to switch to fiber connections gradually over the next few years.  U-Verse® wins over FiOS on pricing.

Both FiOS and U-Verse® offer cool features to consumers.  With FiOS, customers can access Facebook and Twitter on their TVs.  The sharing ability between PC and flat panel is amazing.  With U-Verse®, consumers have the ability to record up to four programs at once.  Wonderful!  It is a toss-up on who wins on best cool features.  Both FiOS and U-Verse® offer uniquely different features.  It truly depends on the consumer’s interests.

Ok, we have provided you with a quick breakdown.  Now it is your turn to vote.  Which one do you feel is better?
