Mar 20 2008Under-bed Flat Panel Television System
You may have already seen this awesome television raising system before because it's been out for awhile, but if not, check it out. Made by MK-1 Studio, the system stores a 50" LCD or plasma television under the bed, and then whips it out for your viewing pleasure in 35 seconds. Unfortunately I heard the damn thing costs $14,000, which may or not be true. I did hear it from a reliable source though. And by reliable source I mean someone on another website's comments section who posts under the alias Sketchyjack.
A MUST SEE VIDEO of the lift in action after the jump.

i am imagining that while the tv is up my dog would play beneath it, perhaps chewing on his golf ball. When the tv starts going down the dog would get startled and leaving the sharp jagged little golf ball so that the screen would get pressed against it and then scraped down the whole length. or any other number of things, i guess I'm saying maybe it shouldn't hydraulically press it screen down against the floor.

This thing is amazing! It's like a giant version of those calculators/alarms that you press a button and they move like that. Or of those book lights that do that. That price better AT LEAST include the TV with free cable for life, because otherwise it's completely useless. THEY'RE FLAT - they can fit ON A WALL and NOT TAKE UP ROOM. That's what Phillips was doing when they first came out with them, is to have people in that hallway watching TV because it was so thin.
That's why I rock out with a 123" screen. 3000 Lumens, DLP, and overall awesomeness.

Oh man, that's sweet. Except with the amount of stuff I always leave lying around the floor, it would operate as more of a shovel system than a TV.

With this setup, I could finally have my inflate-a-mate pre-occupied while I'm at work. Not having my friends offer to babysit anymore is going to be great now !.

No more jumping on the bed with this one I guess. And really, if you can't jump on the bed, what's the point of living? That's right, there is no point. So screw that!

I can imagine that think would break during some fun and rather vigorous sex sessions. Kind of lame.
Since it's likely I'll never have sex, ever, this product is perfect for me.

Thats what you want. Storage of a $2000 electronic piece in a very dusty area. Great concept though.

shovel system...haha. one sock out of every pair, and all boxer shorts would end up dead center under the bed.

ummm...go ahead with your lcd, but putting a plasma tv on its back is a death sentence. that's idiocy.
