  1. Product Focus: Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet

    Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet

    ImportAdvantage has tested the limits of craftsmanship with the Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet. Built from salvage-grade Caribbean Pine, this fine wood is wire-brushed and distressed so its natural tones and textures in the grain are brought to life.

    Accentuated with a hand-applied, weathered pine finish and protective top coat, the Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet is capped off with decorative brass hardware fittings and ImportAdvantage’s heavy-duty TV lift.

    The Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet can house a TV measuring up to 46” wide and 29” in height. It fits perfectly against any wall in your home and comes standard with ImportAdvantage’s free In-Home White Glove delivery and 1-Year Warranty.

    One of the unique features of the Pine Valley TV Lift Cabinet that sets it apart of the rest of the ImportAdvantage line is that the media player storage area is integrated with the center lift unit, and you can store two pieces of media electronics right beneath your TV.

  3. 1080p and Your TV: Tips for Buying a New HDTV and Knowing Its Resolution

    Will you be shopping for a new HDTV this season? You may already what screen size will work best in your TV lift cabinet, and you might have a trusted TV brand in mind, but do you know what resolution you’re looking for and why it’s even important?

    Currently, the highest standard screen resolution available is 1080p, which means that no matter what your source of media images is (satellite, cable, DVD player, gaming console, streaming device, etc.) your TV will be able to display it to its fullest resolution.

    The “p” in 1080p (as opposed to “i”) means the TV offers a progressive-scan. This technology allows your TV to scan the media image in one scan (instead of needing multiple scans) and display it on the TV screen, so you get a sharper picture that is stable and solid.

    Most 1080p TV screens are measured as 1920 x 1080, which gives you the number of pixels in the screen: 1920 x 1080 equals 2,073,600 pixels! And as one might imagine, the more pixels in the screen, the sharper the image

  6. More Room in Your TV Lift Cabinet: Netflix Streams Direct to 2010 Panasonic VIERA CAST HDTV

    Last month, Panasonic announced that its line of 2010 VIERA CAST televisions is now capable of streaming Netflix movies without the need for an external streaming device. This new capability complements the VIERA CAST’s current ability to connect users to Skype, Twitter, Pandora, Picasa and local weather and news.

    Netflix currently has about 15 million members and is the largest subscription service for streaming movies and TV episodes over the Internet. Previously, Netflix members could only stream movies and TV episodes via a computer, capable gaming console (i.e. XBOX 360) or a streaming device (Roku player). Now, with the VIERA CAST, movies can be viewed from the comfort of a home TV and more room will be available in one’s entertainment center or TV lift cabinet.

    Imagine, having more room in your ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet to store DVDs, games, books or keepsakes. These fine handcrafted pop-up TV cabinets are already generous in their storage space, but by being able to reduce

  9. Unique Ways to Use a TV Lift: Kid’s Playroom

    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
