Mitsubishi, a small-scale player in the TV manufacturing world, is ready to unveil their 92-inch TV to consumers. Yes, you read that right – 92 inches. First introduced in January, this gigantic set uses rear-projection technology and is capable of displaying 3D content. Such a huge TV is a deviation from what the leading manufacturers are introducing to the market. Not only that, but rear projection?

Rear projection TVs aren’t exactly commonplace these days. Not only do 92 inches make this TV way too big for a TV lift cabinet, the 15 inch depth is in stark contrast to 1-inch deep flat panels. Large TVs are popular but once the size increases past 65 inches, there is a steep drop off in sales. Although these super-large TVs may not be the most popular with consumers, they are profitable for the manufacturer and cater to consumers with a need for a huge screen - think media rooms and the like.

Another bonus with rear projection TVs is the cost. The television is much larger than its LCD

Welcome in to Elizabeth’s St. Petersburg home!  Elizabeth chose our Craftsman TV lift cabinet for her house.  She enjoys collecting art and pottery and found our Craftsman TV lift cabinet the perfect solution for displaying her art while at the same time concealing her flat screen TV.  Elizabeth opted to switch out the wood panel and insert speaker cloth for maximum sound quality.  The speaker cloth is included with the Craftsman TV lift cabinet for those who wish to switch out the panels as Elizabeth has done.

“I'd love to share my story and photo. I refused to get a large flat-screen TV because I didn't want it sitting in my living room all of the time. We have a lot of art and nice furniture, so the lift cabinet was the perfect compromise. We can have the large television AND the beautiful piece of furniture all in the same room.  I was even able to purchase a new piece of pottery that fits beautifully on top of the cabinet, even when the TV is up. Thanks for solving our problem,

I recently bought a condo and am now looking for reasonable cable options.  Since I am living by myself, I do not have the luxury of splitting the cable bill and am looking for the most affordable option.

Through my research, I have discovered that all the big name cable providers are offering deals on cable packages.  On first glance, you may think the deals are good.  However, take a look at the fine print.  These deals are not good at all!  This is what I discovered.

AT&T which provides DirectTV, had a deal offering basic cable for as low as $29.99 for 12 months.  However, if you read the fine print you discover you must sign into a two year contract.  This means that after the first year, your cable bill nearly doubles to rates as high as $54-$60, and this is just for basic cable.  Imagine how much your bill would increase for add-ons!  Comcast and Verizon are also guilty of doing this same sneaky sale tactic.  Which leaves many consumers such as myself without an

The Soho Electric Fireplace TV lift cabinet is available in two finishes, caramel and espresso to match any décor!  Two drawers at the base of the cabinet are perfect for hiding away your AV components. Our built-in infrared relay system allows you to use your remote control to control your components while they are concealed in the drawers.  Don’t worry about your TV being in close proximity to the fireplace – a full wall separates the TV and the firebox ensuring your TV stays cool and protected.

The recent severe weather that spawned tornadoes and floods across the south has had a major impact on the furniture industry.  Fortunately, ImportAdvantage's factory and warehouse were not affected by the tornado.  However, according to Furniture Today, particularly affected is northeast Mississippi, an area popular for upholstery manufacturers. Several factories were completely destroyed during the storms. Employees were evacuated from the factories as baseball sized hail demolished roofs and tornado sirens warned of nearby danger. Reports from employees that were stuck inside the evacuated factories include broken or torn off roofs and blown out glass. Long-time furniture industry executive, Lynn Davis, was one of over 200 fatalities attributed to the storms that moved through the area.

The American Red Cross has opened shelters in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont. They have given mental

This past Tuesday marked the debut of a new reality talent competition called "The Voice". Did you see the debut show on your Harbor Green TV lift cabinet?  The Mark Burnett produced show has established singers perform a blind audition in front of four celebrity coaches – Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Blake Shelton. These blind auditions are conducted with the coaches’ backs to the contestant. They are then judged solely on their voice, not their appearance. The coaches pick contestants they would like to mentor, often leading to fights between coaches. The idea is to mentor their picks until the end where the last contestant standing will receive a $100,000 recording contract with Universal.

When the show goes live in several weeks, viewers will have a chance to vote for contestants they would like to “save” for the next round. Unlike "American Idol", "The Voice" does not judge and vote contestants off the show, the coaches mentor artists who already
