I can be as lazy as the next person when it comes to watching TV. In fact, I make sure I have everything on my coffee table that I'll need (remote, drink, snacks, chapstick, cell phone, blanket), just so I don't have to get up from watching some of my favorite shows, like How I Met Your Mother, Desperate Housewives, Lost, and American Idol.

I'm thinking that's what K2 Mounts had in mind when they invented the X-arm. The X-arm is a programmable, remote-controlled wall mount that can adjust your TV to a preferred viewing position, extending a TV 12 inches from the wall. It tilts down to 25º or up to 7º, and swivels in a left/right motion from 20º to 32º, depending on display size.

Now why a motorized wall mount? To eliminate glare and reflections so that you don't have to get up and draw the window shades (which would come in handy at my apartment).

To move the mount, you simply touch a button on the universal remote control or via a RS-232 controlled touch panel. And if you find yourself positioning the TV the same way each time, the device stores two memory locations.

When not in operation, the X-arm sits against the wall in an upright position, four inches from the wall.

The X-arm is meant for plasma or LCD flat panel displays between 40- and 65-inch sizes (up to 180 pounds). With the X-arm, you'll receive a mounting attachment kit for easy installation.

But, you'll have to fork over your credit card for this one; the X-arm sells for $1,995. Look for it at retailers soon.
