Still, for Disney fans, this is a pretty interesting setup. Not only does the Mickey Mouse shape provide a clean mount for your TV, it also incorporates ample storage for your media, a drawer for your miscellanea and a glass shelf for your home theater equipment. I'm sure kids would love it. [Pacini Cappellini via Trendir]

By Onei Solutions, this 6.1 home theater stand fits a whole surround system's worth of components into a piece of piano black furniture, minus the subwoofer. With its built-in amp, six 15W speakers and bright, VFD display, all the Onei Home Theater Stand is missing is the scratched wood veneer of your current rig.

But it's OK, the system is light on wattage and it's only got two HDMI inputs. So you can pretend that holding off is a lifestyle decision, not an economic one. $535 [S&C Group and Dabs via ChipChick]

I like the idea of rotating focal points much more than I like the idea of trying to cram both a TV and a fireplace into a single area, plus if you ever grew tired of the design, you would already have a stripper pole installed and ready to go. [Sklob via Born Rich]

The Hollywood unit can accommodate flat-panel LCD or Plasma televisions up to 42" wide while the Dolce Vita handles smaller sets up to 32". Both are vertically adjustable, so you can achieve the height that is most suitable for viewing. In addition to the glass shelving, the Hollywood also features a stainless steel CD storage unit mounted behind the television.

I'll admit that I like the clean contemporary look, but spending $1468 and $1573 respectively for the Dolce Vita and Hollywood is a lot of money to drop on a TV stand. There are, of course, cheaper options for achieving a clean look without wall mounting—like the Synchro Furniture Mate for $599. [Cattelan Italia via Trendir]

Now, I don't own a Wii, but I do play EyeToy games from time to time, and I can totally see the advantages this gizmo offers. With one click of the remote control, you can elevate your flat-screen TV by up to 1.3 meters, negating all that bending and peering downwards that happens when your telly is at a height more convenient for watching from the sofa than for gaming. It looks pretty sturdy in design too, and the motor can power-lift 40- to 60-inch TVs that weigh up to 110 pounds.

Available in Japan, for the equivalent of $675, we suspect that like most other Thanko gear you'll see it here soon. [Thanko via Digital world Tokyo]

There are also HDMI inputs, digital audio inputs, digital media port, preset equalizers and a digital audio decoder that is compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2, AAC and PCM. Naturally, there is no word on whether this will ever see the light of day in the US—which is something that we should be used to by now. [Hifi-ring via Electronic House]
