The decreasing prices of LCD televisions has resulted in larger screens for many households. The most used location for these to be placed, estimated at 75%, is above the fireplace in the central room of the house. The increase in size both women and designers have been having stern issues with a 50-70? black glass object as the centrepiece and main point of the living room.

From a distance it is simply a visual or mechanical change when the television is hidden away, to many it can change the entire atmosphere of the room. Even when the display has been turned off, attention is either consciously or unconsciously drawn towards the blank screen. This is not just a figment of peoples imaginations, it is very real, and it can have a direct effect on both the décor and atmosphere of the room.

Concealment devices are more often than not custom made furniture. Due to both tv sizes and room measurements there is no single solution that works for everyone, hence why systems such as these tv stands often cost more than the TV itself. The justification lies in that the time, money and creative effort spent in making the room look great is not destroyed by trying to make a 50″ piece of black glass blend easily into the room decor.

If you were to look into extensive market research you would see there are a a number of solutions to get around this problem. All with certain pros and cons. The widely used option is usually a mechanical tv lift.

A TV lift effectively combines both an item of furniture and a TV stand. It gives the user the power to switch between viewing a piece of everyday furniture or viewing the plasma television. This is operated using a remote controlled lifting device which is fitted inside the piece of furniture. Once activated this mechanism will cause a lift to move which in turn will cause the TV to gently rise from the furniture and effectively turn it into a tv stand.

This operating system effectively solves all the problems bought to attention by a home designer. The rooms look and feel does not have to be compromised, just modified in a way which cannot be seen unless controlled. The television no longer has to be in full view unless you require it to be. As well as this there are security benefits which mean your tv is a lot less likely to be thiefed or broken in the every day hussle around your home.

Conclusion -
No matter what efforts television manufacturers put into their aesthetic design, they can’t solve the problem of having a large blank screen take over a room when the TV is off. It is no surprise then, that demand for concealment solutions has been doubling each year.

By educating themselves about concealment mechanisms, professionals such as TDK can offer the home owner a solution allows a big television to be hidden within the decor using a TV lift, while maintaining the visual design of the room. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
