TV in a Bed

rs mexico · 17-01-2008, 4:16 PM

Has anyone put in a pop up flat screen at the bottom of their bed? Plus any sites that sell the lifting motors would be a great help.Screen size would only be 32 inch.Cheers.

I've seen these demonstrated on youtube somewhere - very swish but I'd imagine they cost a few pence.

And a quick search finds:

The internet - is there nothing it can't do?

Actually yes, I couldn't find a name for the manufacturers. Sorry.

If i could get the motor set up i would do the rest myself but if that costs a fortune ill just shove it on the side and put the money towards a newTAB screen for the front room.

i was gonna make one a while ago but never got round to it google TV lift , if its just a small screen you could probably knock something up using a car electric window kit

Saw one like this in my local furniture shop. Cost just under £6000

rs mexico · 17-01-2008, 8:55 PM

Found a site that sells the lifts for just under £500.

Someone posted a link to these last week, but I'm not sure which thread it was in now. They mention from £349 for the mechanism.

I'd like this one in the bathroom! Perhaps I'd have to turn it off whilst the football was on, I'd cut myself shaving!

I must say that that seems a little excessive!

Well they're obviously American so of course it's excessive

HandsomeBWonderful · 18-01-2008, 11:30 AM

I just noticed there are no wires going in to the tv - I'd imagine it would get a bit "messy" when you've got 5 metre power/hdmi cables wrapped around the mechanism... I feel a lawsuit coming on.

Rockthejock · 18-01-2008, 12:56 PM

If you are into a bit of DIY why not make your own. Have seen motors on a certain auction site. Look for linear actuators. I was planning a height adjustable speaker stand that would disapear from view but got too complicated to design without being extremely big. Might work fine for a tv though.

dj-dulux · 18-01-2008, 8:26 PM

Heres one I did last year using a liftbox lift. Its been reliable so far too, no issues to report.

Box is oak and its a Pioneer 42" for info.

Dupe...

Alexg · 18-01-2008, 11:33 PM

Wow, thats a seriously nice bedroom dj-dulux, is it yours or an installation you did?

Lovely room

Not my bedroom unfortunately, the wires are managed internally in a caterpillar trucking type thing then go under the bed to the DVD and Sky boxes. Its controlled with a Harmony remote and RF extender. The liftbox has IR control and is just programmed on the Harmony.

Dupe...
