Default Motorised panels

As the title says really.

Has anyone got any experience with motorised panels/screens?

I have a few ideas i want to bounce around but dont know what would be best for my needs in regards to hardware.

Am i able to pick anyones brain with my idea?

for a rising panel up and down or left and right i always thought an electric window winder attached to some mdf would be a cheap and simple way of making a tv go up and down to disappear and reappear could get a window winder from a wreckers cheap enough attach to 12 volt

Bugger Thought you were going to tell me how to put in a sliding up and down rear window for my ute......................ahhh well good idea for the TV as long as the motor is strong enough but the new tvs dont weigh much anyway. You would need more drive up and down for the tv I would imagine, have to mod the wire rope drive and limits.
