Thanko’s Motorized TV Stand
- March 15th, 2008
Thanko may be known to many as the company that comes with the weirdest contraptions from time to time, but its latest Electric Up and Down Big TV Stand may just be its most interesting product yet.
As its name suggests, the Electric Up and Down Big TV Stand is basically a TV stand with a built-in motor to raise and lower large-screen panel displays. Seemingly designed with Wii gamers in mind, the electric TV stand can be conveniently raised by as much as 130cm using a remote control, making it possible to play games more comfortably at eye level. It is rated to lift TV screens between 40 and 60 inches and weighing less than 50kg. Most TV stands in the market today are designed for TV viewing when seated on a couch, thus they are often too low for proper gaming that require standing up.
Unfortunately, this rather useful TV stand doesn’t come cheap. It retails for 69,800 yen (US$685) and is currently available only in Japan. However, with the growing popularity of the Wii console, we won’t be too surprised if OEM makers start coming up with something similar really soon.
