  1. Where Should I Put my TV?

    If you have ever heard your mom tell you that sitting too close to the TV will cause you to go blind, don’t worry, it’s not quite true. What has been proven, however, is that it can cause eye strain and fatigue. Proper placement of your TV depends on several factors. After you know where you want to place your TV for maximum viewing comfort, you will find that ImportAdvantage offers just the right TV lift cabinet for your setup, from a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet (such as the Crystal Pointe) for closer viewing or an elegant traditional TV lift cabinet (such as the Preston) for viewing from a distance.

    The first factor for maximizing your viewing comfort is knowing the screen size of your television, and for this measurement you need the TV’s actual width, from left to right, not its diagonal width which is what your salesperson sold you on. Secondly, how far away will you be sitting from your TV? In order to know how far away you should be sitting from your television, use a “Two-to-Five”

  3. Never Miss a Moment Thanks to the Built-In Infrared Relay System

    ImportAdvantage Infrared Relay System
    These days, remote controls are used for more than flipping channels and adjusting the volume of your favorite television programs. With the invention of DVR technology and instant movie-watching devices like the Wii® and Roku®, you can pause, rewind and record any show at any time, which means your remote control is a powerful tool for TV viewing. Thankfully, the doors of our TV lift cabinets won’t get in the way of your remote control, thanks to our unique Infrared Relay System which allows the transference of your remote signal to any remote-capable device placed in the TV lift cabinet departments.

    The built-in Infrared Relay System repeats the signal from your remote control and relays it inside the cabinet, allowing you total control of all your devices without opening the doors and without experiencing any lag time. Moreover, all of our furniture comes with the Infrared Relay System already included at no extra charge, and no special programming is needed on the Infrared Relay System

  6. TV Lifts for the Bedroom

    A lot of people ask why our foot of the bed lifts are taller than most of our competitions. There is a method to our madness! Our foot of the bed TV lift cabinets (AKA: pop up TV's) are typically 39" tall. Most bedrooms mattresses are between 28-30" off the ground. The extra 10" or so inches in height allow your feet to stay out of the screen!

    In addition to not starring at your feet, the 39" height is for optimal viewing when propped against a pillow. Optimal viewing height is critical for comfort.

    Adding to your comfort, all of our lifts are IR controlled which allow you to operate your cable box, dvd player, etc when they are conveniently hidden out of site in the concealed drawers.

    To view our entire line of pop up TV Lifts, please click here.
