Flying to a certain location for a conference has become rather unpopular lately, due to higher plane ticket fees, airport taxes and, last but not least, the looming danger of terrorist attacks. This is why more and more people choose remote teleconferencing solutions,
and this is exactly the type of product we'll talk about as follows, namely the D+S Plasma-Lift Conference Table.

According to the company, the D+S Plasma-Lift Conference Table could be a very good platform for small group multimedia presentations. One can use this table as a normal (flat) conference table that will accommodate up to 12 people comfortably. However, at the touch of a button, the 42-inch widescreen plasma monitor can be raised in order to display computer and laptop software, DVD's, video tapes, camcorder footage, etc.

Furthermore, built under the table is a large equipment compartment that is ventilated by four fans (two intake, two exhaust). The compartment also includes two surge-protected power blocks and all input jacks to the plasma monitor, which include Component, S-Video, Composite, SVGA/XGA/VGA (video) and Stereo L/R Line Level, Stereo L/R Microphones (audio). Dual hinged doors conceal the equipment and keeps things quiet.

The table is built using heavily braced MDF construction, with all exposed areas being finished with hand-stained and lacquered real oak veneer in a variety of colors. However, one must have quite a lot of space available for installation, since this thing measures around 2.81 meters x 1.3 meters x 73.66 cm, at a weight of 181 kilograms.

However, by far the nastiest info regarding the D+S Plasma-Lift Conference Table is the price tag, as this hi-tech furniture item retails for around 25,000 US dollars, which is quite a hefty sum, even for corporate customers.
