Thumbs up TV in a Bed

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.

Re: TV in a Bed

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.

Re: TV in a Bed

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.

Re: TV in a Bed

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.

Re: TV in a Bed

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!
