Sweet! Press the button on the remote control that comes with the lift, and the TV appears out of nowhere! There is almost no noise from the lift, and the motion is very smooth, so it looks very high-tech.

Since there is no cut-out cabinet lid or any other indicator that gives away the secret, no one would guess there is a 42" TV back there, and it is a cool surprise when the TV comes up.

The total distance between the wall and the back of the cabinet is about 8" (3" for the TV, 4.5" for the lift mechanism and .5" of clearance). That may seem like a lot of space, but it is not noticeable in the layout of this particular room. If there had been doorways or foot traffic with more people seeing the cabinet directly from the side, it would not have been the best position for this installation.
