3D Television Set To Revolutionise Christmas Viewing


In previous years, the item at the top of many Christmas lists has been a HD television. Hundreds of channels now have a high-definition equivalent, and with Blu-ray an ever-expanding media, the HD TV has been a must-have for anyone who enjoys television. Now that high-definition is a common feature in many homes, technology fans and those who spend a lot of time watching TV are turning to the next innovation: 3D TV. Watching in three-dimensions can help to increase enjoyment of traditional festive events such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Christmas movies that all families love and the various television specials that are screened over the next few months. 3D is now possible for people to enjoy in every living area up and down the country, and many are purchasing their sophisticated new television sets early to add an exciting new facet to their Christmas viewing.

The many people purchasing these technologically advanced new devices will need to carefully consider where they are going to place it within their home. Optimum viewing is vital for 3D televisions, which must become a focal point to have the biggest impact and offer the greatest viewing angles. A motorized TV lift cabinet can house a 3D television effectively, and the attractive finish of the cabinets means that they can take pride of place in a living area and become a centrepiece in a living space. With either the sleek modern edges and glossy finish of a modern unit or the ornamental carvings and authentic wood grains of a more traditional cabinet, the units don’t compromise style in favour of efficiency, and are worthy of being the focus of any space.

The design of the pop up TV stands means that they can be placed either against a wall in the middle of a room or at the foot of the bed. Optional 360 degree swivel offers complete flexibility regarding viewing angles for those who decide to place the television in the centre of a room; especially important when housing a 3D TV. When the television is not in use, it can also be retracted into the cabinet, protecting the often delicate flat-screen devices from scratches or other wear and tear that might befall it when being used as a centrepiece.

The component section within the TV lift cabinets are sized to accommodate two multimedia boxes which made 3D viewing possible, including digital receiver boxes, games consoles and Blu-ray players. The included universal remote allows them to be linked and fully controlled from just handset.  All viewing possibilities are completely taken care of with the adaptable and functional unit, allowing families to invite their favourite television personalities into their home in three dimensions this festive season.

Keep Waiting Times Enjoyable For Customers And Clients


Waiting rooms and areas specifically built to house people who may be there for a long time are usually one of the first places a customer, client, patient, passenger or guest sees when they enter a commercial building. From doctor’s waiting rooms to lounges in bus terminals, and from hotel lobbies to queues for the bank, these areas tend to be full of people who will likely be waiting anything from five minutes up to a few hours. It is vital for all types of commercial environment that they ensure these areas are as comfortable as possible, with ways for customers to pass the time. Installing televisions is a popular solution, but what if a conventional television stand does not conform with the surrounding décor? What if the plush environment of a hotel lobby would make a television on a wall look incongruous and unsuitable?

Using motorized flat screen TV cabinets is a unique and stylish way for any environment which welcomes the public to ensure that their customers or clients will be comfortable and entertained during their wait. Although mainly utilized in homes, these attractive and practical cabinets can masquerade as a simple chest or cabinet when not in use, and produce a television during working hours. The television can then be used to keep people in waiting areas entertained, or even informed; many doctors surgeries and transport terminals now use huge television screens in order to tell patients or passengers when their appointment is, or what platform they need to be on.  Many businesses even choose to utilize a television by placing offers, discounts and other promotions on the screen for their potential customers to see.

With the choice of authentic wood finishes for more traditional settings, or shiny and sleek contemporary models which wouldn’t look out of place in a minimalist office or doctor’s waiting room, pop-up TV stands can add an element of interest to any environment. The smooth lifting mechanism means that the television can be safely stored at the end of the day or when not in use, and optional extras including 360 degree rotation mean that they can be placed in potentially awkward locations and still viewed from all angles.

The hidden compartment underneath means that the televisions can be easily connected to DVD players or digital television receivers, and a universal remote allows one member of staff to be in control of all functions without having to switch constantly between remotes. Hardwearing, stylish and technologically advanced, the cutting-edge TV lift cabinets make waiting times more enjoyable and can have great commercial benefits for any business.

Televisions Contribute To Homes ‘Going Social’


Statistics confirm that 98.2% of US homes have a television, and now research from technology giant Google has been released, which shows that lives in homes all over the USA have officially gone ’multi-screen’. According to the report, titled “The New Multi-Screen World: Understanding Cross-Platform Consumer Behavior”, nine out of ten people in the United States use a variety of screens one after the other, or simultaneously. These screens include, but are not limited to, smartphones, tablets, computers and of course, televisions. The report also found that 77% of television viewers watch their television sets with another device to hand; many will use their handheld device to conduct online searches to discover more about what they’re seeing on the television screen, and the trend for interacting socially whilst watching television has taken off considerably in the last two years or so.

Reuters has also corroborated reports that TV audiences are ‘going social’. Many of the biggest TV shows now have their own respective hashtags so that audiences can discuss what they’re seeing on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or any other social networking site which supports this function. There is no better example of this in action than the coverage of the US Presidential Candidates and their campaign trails; a recent political convention attracted many millions of viewers, and Barack Obama’s televised speeches are followed both on television sets and via social networks.

Televisions are a vital part of the home; the focal point of a living space, a facility for family and friends to enjoy some down-time and now a way to interact and relate to the outside world. With many homes now possessing internet TVs and television sets with built-in browsing capabilities, sharing thoughts and opinions on anything from Barack Obama to the X Factor is easier than ever. Of those in a recent survey who admitted they owned an internet television, 52% of them placed this television set in the living room, further cementing the television as the hotspot for all family interaction and social activity.

Where they used to be simply a place to escape the outside world by disappearing into another plane of reality, now televisions are used to link these televised events to the broader world, and encourage everyone to share opinions and interact. Though there are now many different ways to watch certain shows, catch up on news or simply enjoy browsing the channels, television remains the most popular device, and one which is starting to set trends and set the pace across all other digital forms of media.

With the TV such a central part of the home and intrinsic to the fabric of family life, the way in which the device is presented is also crucial to the way it is used. A permanent, stylish, functional and attractive flat screen TV lift cabinet helps to integrate the TV into the room, while also providing safe storage and the chance to hide it when not in use. Modern TV lift furniture such as the Le Bloc in Ebony Macassar  makes the TV the centrepiece of the space, transforming the basic rectangle shape of the screen with a luxurious finish, smooth lines and ultra-modern technology.

When encased within a TV lift cabinet, additional features such as a manual 360 degree swivel means the viewing angle can be changes and adapted to suit everyday needs, providing even more enjoyment and usability. Advances such as sound bars and digital wireless headphones can also be added, introducing yet more dimensions to the TV itself. The most modern of flat screen TV lift furniture can also link the TV with the other screens users are known to frequent with computer compatibility joining a laptop with the TV screen for super-sized browsing.

San Diego-based Cabinet-Tronix design and manufacture a range of TV lift cabinets in a choice of in stock, custom, modern and traditional designs. To browse the range visit http://www.cabinet-tronix.com
