Plasma TV Lifts – An Industry Blog

If you are a follower of the philosophy of Feng Shui, which says that everything in your home, or office or personal living space has either a positive or negative impact, you may be pleased to learn how a TV lift cabinet will give your home a more positive feel.

So where does your TV fit into the practice of Feng Shui? Although the TV itself can be a quality source of educational information or a way to watch action-packed dramas, a TV that can be quietly stored out of sight in a pop-up TV lift cabinet can certainly improve the positive impact of Feng Shui in your home.

Some firm believers of Feng Shui suggest that no one ever place a TV in their bedroom, but what if that TV is tucked neatly into a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet? Most Feng Shui experts agree that putting a TV in a closed cabinet before falling asleep will minimize the negative impact of a TV in the bedroom.

Feng Shui also suggests that no one watch TV while eating dinner. While this seems like sound advice, it’s possible to still keep a TV in the kitchen to watch your favorite cooking shows. Many of ImportAdvantage’s foot of the bed TV lift cabinet models fit perfectly in smaller kitchens and can be tucked away during dinner.

TVs placed in living rooms seem to please most followers of Feng Shui. The living room is a place where families come together to watch movies and programs. And the best place to put your TV in your living room is in any one of the fine ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinets.

There are many statistics out there trying to find fault with TV viewing, especially for young children, but according to KidsHealth.org, owned by Nemours, TV-watching in moderation can actually be a good thing.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that no kids under the age of 2 should be watching any TV and kids older than 2 should limit their TV-watching to one or two hours a day of quality programming.

As the first two years of a child’s life is considered a very critical time for learning, the emphasis on TV-watching at this stage is certainly on the educational value of the programming, not the entertainment value. However, children’s advocates have long been divided when it comes to finding the right solution for how much TV a child should watch as they continue to develop. It’s always best to leave the decision up to the child’s parents.

Whether for fun or for learning, watching a TV housed on a TV lift cabinet by ImportAdvantage will be an exciting experience. Plus parents will rest assured that their child is safe from the chance of their TV tipping over, thanks to the stability of our pop-up TV cabinets.

A TV lift cabinet is simple, safe and ensures everyone can have a good time while watching television, even in moderation.

One of the advantages of shopping for TV lift cabinets directly from the factory is that not only
can you save up to 50% off the retail value on the product itself, but you can receive drastic
savings on shipping costs. At ImportAdvantage, all products we sell are shipped the same day
they are ordered and include our signature “White Glove” Delivery.

The concept of ImportAdvantage’s “White Glove” placement service is that each customer
should have their pop-up TV lift cabinet placed exactly where they want it in their home without
a hassle—that is what our customers deserve.

Sent direct from the craftsman’s bench to the customer’s home, ImportAdvantage’s “White
Glove” Delivery includes scheduling a delivery date and time 24-48 hours in advance of the
cabinet’s arrival. The TV lift cabinet you ordered will be delivered by two qualified trades-people,
who work with the customer for the best placement in their home. The two professionals will
unpack your fully-assembled pop-up TV cabinet and double-check that everything meets the
customer’s satisfaction. All this at no charge to you!

You won’t find this high-quality offer at most box stores, even if you’re just shopping for a new
TV for your new beautifully-crafted TV lift cabinet. It’s just one of the many commitments to
customer service we value at ImportAdvantage.

Thinking about a new TV lift cabinet but not quite sure where you want to put it in your home? A foot of the bed pop-up TV cabinet may be the answer to your dilemma. Just because it’s called a foot of the bed TV lift cabinet doesn’t mean it can only go in your bedroom.

Many of the foot of the bed TV lift cabinets are also perfectly suited to other smaller rooms, such as offices, or can be placed in the middle of a room with convenient access to storage and your components. Models like the Crystal Pointe TV Lift Cabinet, which is finished on five sides and allows its component drawers to be reversed so they can be opened from the front, offer incredible versatility in any home. This model also comes in the Crystal Pointe XL TV Lift Cabinet and accommodates larger flat-panel TVs (up to 51” wide!).

All you have to do is get the right one to match your home’s decor, but with so many options available, that won’t be hard either.

One of America’s long-time favorite game shows, The Price is Right, is also a long-time showcase for ImportAdvantage’s TV lift cabinets. In the last few years, an ImportAdvantage TV lift cabinet has appeared on the game show seven times, including a special appearance in the highly coveted and iconic “Showcase Showdown.” You can view a clip of The Price is Right featuring the Banyan Creek TV Lift Cabinet on the ImportAdvantage home page.

The Price is Right, currently owned by FremantleMedia, is one of the most popular daytime game shows of all time and is viewed in more than 30 countries around the world. In 2008, The Price is Right was the #1 daytime game show in the United States, with a peak audience of 6.9 million viewers.

Did you know that you can surf the web right from you bed through your TV? Sure, most people can check email or tool around on the Internet from their smart phones and laptops, but smart phones are not designed for prolonged web searching, and dragging your laptop into your bedroom or sitting it on your lap on the couch can be cumbersome.

Special devices for the TV have been around a number of years, such as WebTV (now MSN TV), which provides users a wireless keyboard, unique remote control and the ability to surf any web page while you are in your comfort zone. The Nintendo Wii also allows users to find their favorite websites without getting up from the sofa.

Both Panasonic and EspriTV will soon be releasing televisions with built-in technology for accessing the Internet, complete with wireless keyboards.

Imagine surfing the web while propped up in comfort on your bed pillows. A foot of the bed TV lift cabinet makes this dream a reality, by allowing your TV to raise up from an ornate, hand-crafted TV lift cabinet on command. And thanks to the built-in Infrared Relay System, which comes standard and pre-instralled on all ImportAdvantage pop-up TV lift cabinets, your wireless keyboard and remote will work flawlessly.

The Cachet will hold flat-panel TVs up to 45 1/2” wide and 28 7/8” tall, and it comes with the lift systems pre-installed, as well as the built-in Infrared Relay System.

The Cachet is built from kiln-dried hardwoods and veneer, and it can accommodate a wide variety of home styles and color schemes.
