[QUOTE="Stu, post: 36259, member: 509"] Just had a thought. Why does it need to slide up vertically? Why cant it pivot up like a laptop screen? You could mount it on a "L" shaped fabrication that pivots on the corner of the "L" so that you don't have a gaping hole when the screen is pivoted up. This has its own set of problems though, like you cant put anything on top of the unit when closed or you risk flipping it up against the wall but i think it is worth thinking about. The motorization (is that even a word?) mechanism would be quite different but not to complex. If you dont mind getting of the couch you could probably even do it manually, no motor needed. I am seeing gas shocks (like in the boot of your hatchback) hidden underneath to hold it in the open and closed positions. [/QUOTE]
