Unusual TV Bracket

[PaulSC]

Evening all - hope everyone had a happy Christmas.

I plan to refurb our bedroom early in the new year, but have no real wall space to work with to mount a flat screen TV (the TV won't be huge). I guess one option is to mount it on the ceiling with some kind of a retractable bracket, though I've never come across anything like this before. Could be manual or powered and I do have lots of headroom in the loft space above.

Anyone fitted something nice before? The more 'James Bond' the better

Thanks in advance

Paul

The bit I don't understand, is if there is space for the tv, then there MUST be wall space for the bracket.

Or do you want it hanging down from the middle of the room, with it retracting up into a slot in the ceiling. If so that's a LOT of custom engineering to do.

Thanks Barx, but the bed's quite new and not in the budget. Very James Bond tho'

I assumed built in wardrobes et al on the required wall.

I'm sure you could construct something similar with a bucket of tecnic lego

 

[Badger]

what about something like this?

Titan Motorised Flat Screen Wall Bracket Fits 26-40' 26941

never fitted one, that is the motorised version but have fitted loads of them as manual type brackets.

I find the concept of a TV in the bedroom strange

A bedroom is for two things

1) Sleeping

2) Something that does not involve a TV

Thanks Chaps,

Had no idea these things were SO expensive - back to the drawing board ...
