The lift machines come in varying sizes.  The smallest lift we have is our Uplift 2700.  This lift is designed for TVs that are smaller than 37”.  The largest lift machine is our Uplift 4000 which can accommodate up to a 70” TV.  All lift machines come with mounting hardware, manual control box, RF remote and instructions.  If you have questions about our lift machines, please contact our office at 561-417-0999 and speak with one of our lift specialists.

Verizon and AT&T are rethinking how they package their unlimited data plans.  Everyday more and more Americans are using data to stream content to their TV lift cabinets, laptops, and smart phones.  With more data usage being consumed, AT&T and Verizon have decided to do away with their unlimited data plans.

Verizon announced this week that they are moving their unlimited data customers to capped data plans.  They did not mention the capped usage amount and pricing for capped plans.  AT&T has decided to be slightly more generous.  They will allow folks who already have unlimited data plans to be grandfathered in, but all new subscribers will have capped plans.  The AT&T unlimited data plan customers that use a large amount of data will however, see their data being cut off or “throttled”.

Sprint is the only large wireless carrier that will still offer an unlimited plan.  Sprint has been struggling in the last few years with poor network coverage resulting in losing customers

If you are looking for a great gaming console to store within your TV lift cabinet, you may be interested to know that Microsoft is now offering the Xbox for only $99 plus a subscription fee.   Currently, Xbox and other gaming consoles cost around $299.  This is a hefty price tag for consumers to pay out.  Many are not able to pay this upfront cost.  To get around this hurdle, Microsoft is now offering this affordable subscription plan.

Consumers will have to pay a $99 initial fee to get Xbox 360 and then commit to a two year contract.  The subscription fee per month is $15.  The $99 price tag is a much more manageable number for consumers to handle than $299.  Microsoft is hoping this pricing strategy will lure in more customers and increase their Xbox sales.

Now for those who enjoy crunching numbers, you may have already figured out that the cost of owning an Xbox will amount to $459 with this new pricing strategy whereas it is only $299 without subscription.  However,

Jawbone experienced great success with their original Jambox speaker.  Due to this success, the company decided to make modifications to its Jambox Bluetooth speaker to introduce the Big Jambox.  The Big Jambox is larger than its predecessor, measuring at 10” W x 3.5” H x 3.1” D.  While not small enough to fit within a coat pocket, it can fit comfortably inside TV lift cabinets or in cars.

The Big Jambox produces amazing sound quality.  As Jawbone’s VP, Travis Bogard stated “Sometimes, there are situations where you want more sound”.  That is exactly what the Big Jambox delivers.

The Big Jambox has six command buttons compared to the original Jambox’s three.  The command buttons are the talk/Jambox button, play/pause, previous and next, and the up and down volume buttons.  The Big Jambox also has a Bluetooth pairing button, a 3.5mm stereo auxiliary input jack, a Micro USB port, and a power adapter jack.  The Bluetooth button can be connected with Apple products (iPhone,

For all you car enthusiats out there, we are currently working on a truly innovative project.  We are converting a 1969 Camaro RS/SS car front into a TV lift console.  Are you as excited as we are?

Here is a sneak peek at our new swivel lift machine.  The swivel lift will be available in our Crystal Pointe TV lift cabinet come end of June for a soft launch.  The video is broken down into three clips.

First clip shows TV lift rising up from cabinet.  The design of our swivel lift mechanism is quite innovative.  The lift is designed to attach to the cabinet lid as it rises up from cabinet.

If you enjoy watching Glee, Raising Hope and New Girl on your TV lift cabinet, then you will be happy to know these three sitcoms have been renewed by Fox.  All three shows will be renewed for another year.

According to Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment president, “New Girl has become the hottest new appointment series for young adults”.  It is currently ranked No. 2 among young adults.  Raising Hope’s quirky sometimes offbeat humor earns it another year’s contract, while Glee is still a top 10 favorite among young adults.

We are now on Pinterest.  Pinterest is a virtual pinboard.  People can “pin” the products that inspire them to their pinboards and share them with family and friends.  People use pinboards to decorate their homes, share recipes, and plan their weddings.

In the next few weeks we will be building out our pinboard with room designs.  Be sure to pin your favorite TV lift cabinet to your “For the Home” pinboard.   We were pleasantly surprised to find that folks were already pinning us before we even joined.  Thank you for your support.  We love it!  Keep those pins coming!
