The rapidly falling costs of LCD tv’s has been the main reason for bigger screens for many homes. The most used location for these to be placed, estimated at 75%, is above the fireplace in the central room of the household. Because of 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 focal point of the living room.
In theory it is simply a visual or mechanical change when the TV is hidden away, to many it changes the entire atmosphere of any room. Even when the display has been turned off, attention is either consciously or unconsciously drawn towards the blank screen. This is not simply a figment of peoples imaginations, it is real, and it can have a direct effect on both the decoration and atmosphere of the room.
Concealment systems are more often than not custom made furniture. Due to both TV sizes and room plans there is not one solution that works for everyone, hence why such systems 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 non-existently into the room decor.
By looking into extensive market research you would see there is not enough tv stands on the market to deal with this issue. However there are a number of ways to get around this problem. All with certain pros and cons. However the most commonly used option is usually a plasma television lift.
A TV lift effectively implements in one both an item of furniture and a television stand. It gives the user the ability to swap between viewing a piece of everyday furniture or viewing the plasma television. This is operated using a remote controlled lifting device which is implemented inside the furniture. When activated this mechanism will cause a lift to move which then will cause the TV to slowly and safely rise from the furniture and effectively turn it into a television stand.
This solution effectively solves all the problems faced by a home designer. The rooms look and feel does not have to be compromised, just modified in a way which cannot be seen. The tv no longer has to be in full view unless you want it to be. As well as this there are security benefits which mean your tv is a lot less likely to be taken or broken in the every day movement around your home.
Conclusion
No matter what efforts television manufacturers put into their aesthetic design, they do not solve the problem of having a large blank screen take over a room when the TV is off. It comes as no surprise then, that demand for concealment solutions has been doubling every year for a while now.
By educating themselves about concealment mechanisms, professionals such as www.tdkjoinery.co.uk can offer the home owner a solution allows a big television to be hidden within the decor using TV lifts, while maintaining the visual design of the room. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
