    Flip down plasma mechanisms?

    I've had a request for my first. Anyone had a ringing recommendation, or a warning for something to stay away from?

    Sweet! I want to do one!

    The only automated one we did was with an Auton lift in a custom cabinet. And it went nearly as smooth as butter. But a flip down would be coooool. Post pics during and after.

    Re: Flip down plasma mechanisms?

    owen ... i have never done one but my concern is that the glass in the up position would be flat, this may cause warping of the plasma housing or some kind of funky issue.... i would do one up aand down if i had the choice.

    auton makes a flip i think and maybe cheif... i know someone sent me something and i shit canned it as it was impracticle based on my paranoia

    but hey who am i... if you can get it done post a picture and i'll tell you, you did a great job

    Auton has one on their web site, and I didn't see one on Chief's. I may wait till CEDIA on this one.

    No room for a traditional lift; the apartment is the 52nd floor of a downtown condo high rise, and the ceiling is the concrete deck for the floor above.

    Auton would also be my recommendation.
    The plasma fill port is exposed in the horizontal position only making the potential for leaks and carpet or hardwood damage an acute liability issue.

    Re: Flip down plasma mechanisms?

    I have also recently been asked for my 1st of these. I was looking into the chief pcl model vs the auton and inca models. has anyone here used the chief pcl and have any comments on operation, noise, and reliability?

    thanks

    Look at Display Devices, I have used them for years and they are very reliable. Also they come with RS232 for control. So you are not using a relay port.

    Re: Flip down plasma mechanisms?

    I've left three messages for a sales rep at Auton to call me back over the last three days, with no luck yet. Pretty uninspiring. I hope their tech support department is better, but I'm guessing not.

    The Chief PCL is a lift, not a flip-down.
