Should You Pair a Plasma Screen or LED TV with a TV Lift Cabinet?

The prevalence and importance of television at Christmas cannot be overstated, which is why many families will be looking to splash out on a new one to use over the festive season. Before they can do so, however, there are a lot of choices to be made, not least the one between a plasma television and an LED television. Both are widely praised and are popular in thousands of homes, but what are the advantages of each, and which would be most suitable for certain purposes? This guide outlines the basic differences between the two, and examines why some people have a preference.

One of the main things to remember about these two technologies is that they both offer similar things: crystal-clear colour images and super-thin designs. But the key differences are important, the first being that plasma screens can be much larger than LED televisions right now. Plasma screen TVs can range from 32 inches all the way up to a cinema-esque 65 inches, whereas LEDs have been playing catch-up in recent years. This is a very important consideration for people looking to house their television in a pop-up TV cabinet, as they can only be manufactured to fit certain sizes of television screen.

The viewing angle of the screens is also a fairly important aspect to consider. Plasma televisions had the slight advantage in this department, with a viewing angle of 165 degrees compared to the LED screen’s 160. The LED screens have managed to catch up now and the difference between the two is minimal on this front. Those who wish to store and display their television in a motorized TV stand can always add optional 360 degree rotation capabilities if they are at all worried about viewing angles in the home.

A television’s weight can affect what kind of mount or stand it requires, and plasma screen televisions are much heavier than LEDs. When a plasma screen is mounted on a wall, they often require additional support to take the extra weight, whereas LEDs are considerably lighter and easier to mount. A pop up TV stand can hold both a plasma screen and an LED television easily, without extra support or mounting equipment, and the secure storage area within the cabinet keeps the televisions safe when they are not in use, rather than being fully exposed with a mount on a wall.

The overall costs of both technologies varies with different sizes and the different capabilities of each TV set, but in general, plasma TVs are still cheaper for any sizes over 32 inches. Production costs are higher in LED televisions because once they hit a certain size, faulty transistors can cause pixel defects as a result of the substrate material. The LED televisions larger than 32 inches often cost a lot more to produce and are therefore more expensive. Purchasing a more cost-effective television mean freeing up more funds for a show-stopping TV lift cabinet, but Christmas also is a time for treats and extravagances, so even if purchasing a more expensive television, it’s important to ensure it has a luxury home.

Renovation Resolutions from Cabinet Tronix

The hectic Thanksgiving weekend has passed and preparations for Christmas are well under way across the country, but there is another holiday approaching which carries great meaning for many: New Year’s Eve. One of the most popular traditions around New Year is to make a resolution for the next twelve months, something which will improve someone’s quality of life or the quality of their surroundings. Quitting smoking, going on a diet and taking up a hobby are all popular resolutions that people decide upon to improve their quality of life, and many decide to improve the quality of their surroundings by redecorating their home.

With the living area often being the most important room of the house, many people choose to start with this room and make it as luxurious as possible; new sofas, new furniture and perhaps a new television with a new place to put it.  Pop up TV stands are the perfect way to simultaneously house a flat-screen television whilst adding a beautiful piece of furniture to a living space. They are sleek and sophisticated and come in a wide range of different designs to suit any interior; the shiny black curves of the Coast cabinet, with a Black Satin finish, would look at home in any minimalist apartment or monochrome room, while the ornate Coronado design in Antique Caramel is homely and traditional.

As well as providing a stunning focal point to a living space, motorized TV cabinets are also practical and functional. They protect a television from dust or any damage that might be sustained, and they house a selection of appliances in a secret compartment within the unit. Standard sized TV cabinets can hold two appliances such as a digital box, a games console or a DVD player. This is an important consideration when planning a renovation; having unsightly wires or black boxes on show can ruin the aesthetics of the entire room, but these cabinets tuck them away discreetly and securely. Universal remotes are also available which control everything linked with the TV, so that coffee tables or end tables aren’t piled high with remotes for different purposes.

For some, the renovation might be nothing more than rearranging the furniture. Buying a TV lift cabinet makes it possible to move furniture at any time without worrying about viewing angles or being able to see the television properly. The television stands are available with an optional 360 rotation, meaning that the screen can be viewed from anywhere in the room. Many houses favour open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas nowadays, and placing a TV in the centre of the room means that those sitting, cooking or eating can all have access to the screen. If a stylish new look for a living space is part of a resolution, it is simpler than ever to update and upgrade an interior with a TV lift cabinet.
