Abstract
A device that permits a television to be extended from a position hidden behind a picture frame, and pivots an art picture frame up, and out of view so that a television screen is viewable at a lower level. When the television viewing is complete, the user retracts the television, resulting in a picture frame being pivoted down and coming to rest in front of the hidden television. The devise utilizes only one motorized pulley system to simultaneously move both a television and a picture frame. This devise also utilizes roller extension arms enabling a user to watch a flat TV screen at any level including fully up or down positions. Additionally, optional swivel arms can be utilized to allow a person to tilt the flat screen side to side for easy viewing at an angle.
