OT: Adjustable height TV Stand
We don't watch TV much in our house, haven't had cable or TV service for 15 years, just for movies a couple times a month. However, the TV is there in front of the window all the time. I would love to be able to drop it down behind the cabinet when not in use rather than have to look at it.
I have seen motorized mounts, and while they have a certain "neato" factor, I would prefer something where I could just lift it up and down, and have a lift assisted mechanism of some sort. Does anyone know of anything that fits that description or am I just out of luck. It's not that important that I want to throw $$$ at it, but would be nice. Rearranging the room, as well as installing a projector and pull down screen were vetoed, and it's a rental house so major modifications are out as well. My thought was to mount some kind of lift mechanism to the cabinet the TV is on, but Google isn't turning up much at the moment. |

That is the idea. I saw that picture, but it uses an electric actuator, along with some other stuff and details are non existent of how it's put together. I picture something like this, but prefer to not have to plug something else in.

Well, perhaps 19th century tech would help, borrowing from the double hung window. There were two sash weights, one on each side, and a cord connecting the weights and the sash over a pulley on each side. You would have to balance the weights of the tv, the frame in which it was placed, and the counterweights. Also the length of the rise and fall. But conceivably, a pretty easy trial and error process if you have the skills to make the parts. Might be fun.

If the TV were smaller this might work, or the room bigger to have a larger cabinet.

there are a TON of devices on the market now for stand up desks. both stand alone units and ones you put on an existing desk to raise and lower height. standing up while working is apparently all the rage these days?
anyway, look into a stand up desk device, they have them in many price points with various levels of tech. that should work!

This only has 18" of travel but it might get somebody thinking of a better idea:
