Tip of the Day



Hide and See

Today is Cinco de Mayo and people are celebrating everywhere. Some are celebrating the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Some are celebrating "hide-and-see" TV. Hide-and-see TV? Si! As in — now you see it, now you don't. Get it? Television sets that you hide away, out of sight when not in use. Today's TVs are getting bigger and bigger and don't look real attractive when not in use. We need clever ways to hide them. Since plasma and LCD sets are super-skinny, they are easier to hide. In addition to hiding television sets behind artwork that rolls up or slides out of the way, one can now hide them in ceilings, walls, cabinets and even in cocktail tables. When you push a button, they pop up or drop down electronically. They're motorized — with different strokes for different folks.
