Nexus 21 Motorized Flip-and-Extend TV Lift Elevates Outdoor TV Installations

Innovative lift mechanism gives systems integrators a dynamic way to conceal and reveal large displays in outdoor living environments.

Phoenix, AZ – February 25, 2026 — As outdoor living spaces continue to evolve into fully integrated entertainment destinations, Nexus 21 is highlighting the advantages of its motorized TV lift systems, most notably the CL-65e Flip-Down + Extend TV Lift, for professional systems integrators seeking to deliver flexible, design-forward viewing solutions.

With homeowners requesting larger displays for poolside lounges, outdoor kitchens, covered patios, and entertainment pavilions, systems integrators need mounting solutions that maintain performance and durability without compromising architectural intent. The Nexus 21 CL-65e is engineered to stow displays up to 65 inches safely overhead, flush with the ceiling surface. When activated, the mechanism smoothly flips the television into a vertical viewing position and extends it downward up to two feet.

The motion is smooth, quiet, and completed in under 40 seconds, delivering a dramatic yet refined reveal that enhances both functionality and design.

“Integrators who incorporate conceal-and-reveal solutions such as the CL-65e can differentiate and elevate their outdoor AV proposals, giving their customers a highly functional, flexible and visually distinctive outdoor entertainment experience,” says Cory Lovett, CEO of Nexus 21. “

By expanding the placement possibilities of a large TV, integrators and designers enjoy greater creative freedom while maintaining the performance standards their clients expect.”

The CL-65e is designed for straightforward installation in outdoor patios, decks, cabanas, gazebos, and similar structures. It can be surface-mounted or recessed into the ceiling and is engineered for efficient installation by a two-person team. Once secured, a finish panel can be applied to match the surrounding construction for a clean, integrated appearance.

Dedicated cable management space and an easily accessible control panel simplify system integration.

The lift comes fully assembled and includes an integration hub with RF remote, IR, IP, and contact closure control options, allowing seamless integration into leading automation platforms. Universal voltage compatibility (110V–240V) further supports installations across global markets.

TV Concealment Solves Multiple Outdoor Challenges

Outdoor displays are exposed to moisture, wind, UV radiation, and debris for far longer than they are actively used. Even outdoor-rated televisions benefit from being stored safely when not in operation. By incorporating lift systems into cabinetry or enclosures, systems integrators can reduce environmental exposure, extend equipment lifespan, and preserve the visual integrity of the space.

Concealment also adds a practical layer of security. When a display is hidden from view, it is less likely to attract unwanted attention, particularly in open yards or properties visible from neighboring areas. While outdoor-rated TVs are built for durability, discreet storage when not in use helps protect the investment and provides homeowners with added peace of mind.

Engineered for Integration and Installation Efficiency

Outdoor AV projects often require close coordination with millwork, landscaping, and construction teams. Nexus 21 lift systems simplify execution with integration-ready control options and accessories such as soundbar mounts and hinged-lid guides, streamlining cabinetry design and reducing custom fabrication time.
