Here's one worth settling in the comments: would you rather have your TV visible in the room at all times, ready to go the moment you sit down, or completely out of sight until it's actually time to watch something?
It's a surprisingly divisive question once you start asking people. Some folks like the TV front and center no extra steps, no remote-pressing rituals, just turn it on and go. For them, a visible screen isn't clutter, it's convenience, and anything that adds a step between "sitting down" and "watching something" feels unnecessary.
Others feel the opposite way just as strongly. For this group, a large black rectangle sitting in the middle of an otherwise carefully designed room is a constant visual interruption something that undercuts every other design choice they've made, from the paint color to the furniture to the art on the walls. They'd rather the TV disappear completely between uses, even if that means one extra button press to bring it back.
Neither position is wrong, and plenty of people land somewhere in between depending on the room. A media room might call for a visible, always-ready TV, while a formal living room or a bedroom might benefit more from one that stays hidden until it's needed.
If you're firmly in the second camp, though, a lift cabinet is basically built for you. It lets the room read as furniture-first and screen-second, with the TV rising into view only when you actually want it there. So where do you land?
