Would you like to add a touch of technology to your kid’s stuffed animal-filled, puzzle-piled playroom? One of the most unique and useful touches you can add is a TV lift. Whether you buy a complete, handcrafted TV lift cabinet from ImportAdvantage or just the Uplift mechanism for building your own cabinet, your kids will be amazed when they see a flat screen TV magically and quietly rise out of nowhere.
While some may question whether putting a TV in the playroom will actually encourage more TV-watching, it’s actually easier to control how much TV your kids watch because you can control when the TV is accessible and when it isn’t. If your kids can’t see a TV, they may be less likely to ask to watch it.
And when it comes to safety, a TV lift cabinet can’t be beat. A TV kept in a pop-up TV cabinet is attached securely to the Uplift mechanism, making it virtually impossible for a child to tip over the television. And with the selection of hardwoods ImportAdvantage uses to construct its TV

A California company, Prysm, has released the next “big thing” in television technology, literally and figuratively - a quad HD laser TV, or LPD (laser phosphor display). It works by bouncing laser beams off phosphor pixels embedded in a glass and plastic screen. The result is a television that is low in power consumption (using one-tenth of what a plasma flat screen TV uses) but able to display the absolute sharpest image on a screen, and the screen can come in any size – from a “jumbo-tron” or as small as one might ever need. The “jumbo-tron” screens are already in use in Europe.
The lower energy consumption in the TV is due to not needing to stimulate the darker regions of the TV screen, which also allows the LPD to remain cool to the touch no matter how long it’s been on.
The downside, though, is that the LPD quad HD TV won’t be available as a slim flat screen anytime soon, which means for the time being, you won’t be able to house one in a state-of-the-art ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet
