If you don’t want your television to be the focal point of any room, a TV lift cabinet seems to be a great option. With the new Coastal Elements line of TV lift products from the house of Cabinet Tronix, you can neatly tuck away your TV when not in use. The company’s new collection is layered with exotic woods and brilliant finishes, and every unit comes with a naturally ventilated component section to house the DVD player and cable box to avoid any visible mess. One of the highlights of the Coastal Elements line is the Le Bloc TV Lift Console in Ebony Macassar.

If you are one of those individuals who likes to spend a fairly large amount of time outside, you obviously can’t double your fun with just barbecues or tiki torches. So, a creative solution like Runco’s new Climate Portfolio display can be an inviting heaven for entertaining and relaxing as well as making your backyard beam with luxury.

If you think there’s a mini rebellion under way with your décor and your ultra thin LED TV, the NEOD Framed Mirror TV would make ambiance reflect more smoothly. NEOD TVs are made using top grade leathers, Swarovski crystals, gold and silver leaf to make the frames.

This ultra luxurious concealment solution can also be personalized to suit individual requirements with three mirror sizes, five TV sizes and a choice of nine exclusively designed frames.

When we were moving toward elegance, class and glamour in the home theater segment, we somehow forgot to add form to function in these sleek and modern-looking TVs to blend these designs with rest of the home décor. However, Halden-Caviglia has nicely picked up the missing trend and has designed a series of Flat Screen Showcases for homeowners to evoke nostalgia for the classic theater experience. Halden-Caviglia is applying classic artistry and craftsmanship in a flat screen television with integrated amplifier and dual speakers for a unique theatrical experience.

The modern hi-tech fireplaces have made the hearth the focal point of a room. And unlike the traditional fireplaces, the modern fireplaces can be fitted not just in your walls but even in your TV cabinetry to add a dramatic touch to the interiors, while also saving on space. Besides the multimedia fireplace from Vok and the multimedia TV rack with a fireplace from Skloib, the latest is the “I-Vision” from Dutch fireplace manufacturer Helex, which integrates a flat-screen TV with a fireplace.

In the world of high-end luxury, everything is better if it has a bling element to it, and this is why the Ruby Television was created. Made in Italy, this 40-inch model includes 155 red rubies displayed in three different sizes to make your viewing pleasure a glittery one. This luxurious television set includes 12 rubies in 0.32 ct, 21 in 0.15 ct and 122 in 0.10 ct. With bling having a character of its own, you wouldn’t care if it comes with any logos or stickers.

Mention Bang & Olufsen in the same breath and chances are you would feel a lump form in your throat as you know full well that you aren’t able to afford purchasing anything from this brand, even if it is a souvenir item with its brand name emblazoned across it. Well, the same applies for Bang & Olufsen’s latest release, the BeoVision 7 which comes with a new 55″ screen size, upping the ante where its previous 40″ model left off in North America.

This Moxi 3 Tuner HD DVR is hazy crazy. So hands up everyone with a shed load of VHS tapes they never watched? Or a hard disk PVR or TiVo crammed with shows they don’t have time to view? Yeah thought so. So what on earth makes it logical to introduce a product which can record 3 different programs onto hard disk while you’re watching a fourth? What are you going to do with all the shows, start your own TV station? Hold them for ransom? Sell them back to Rupert Murdoch? ‘Cause one thing’s for certain, you’re probably only ever going to watch a fraction of the content in one lifetime.

After having announced a slew of hardware updates in the last week, the company with the plan, Apple, has moved on to software updates by introducing the new Apple TV 3.0 software that aims to up the ante in the battle for your attention in living rooms throughout America (and the world, although Apple might not claim that officially).

I’m not sure if SCART connectors took off anywhere except in Europe but they’re still floating around on older TVs I’m sure. This DVB-T to SCART Receiver lets you receive DVB-T broadcasts straight into your telly without the need for a big, clunky external decoder box. Just plug in your aerial (it also has an aerial pass through) and it will spit out either Composite+RGB or Composite+S Video via the SCART Connector in 4:3 or 16:9 and in either PAL or NTSC formats.
