Would it be possible to do this with a motor and assembly from a 'power window' in a car? I'm not sure, but it would seem like a computer power supply, the power window motor and the diagonal guide rails would do the same job as a linear actuator. If one isn't strong enough, you could always add more motors. Has anyone done this with a car window motor instead? I don't have a workshop to build anything.

ummm car power window's motors are nowwhere near strong enoug without so much reduction gearing that the TV would take an hour to come out of the cabinet... You might be able to buy good linear actuators, I dont know much about their prices though. How about hydraulics though You wouldn't need a big pump or motor to move the TV, and you could even add extra dimensions to the movement...

Thats very cool. Could you explain more about the electronics? I would like to try something similar, but how do you actually get the TV to rise?
