Benefits of technology

[0009] It is a further objective of this invention to provide a disabled user with a thin panel media entertainment center system for allowing a degree of enjoyment of life without being further handicapped, thus access is easy and requires no walking. The present invention eliminates both the need to walk and accessibility handicaps by providing controls within fingertips reach at arms length distance away especially for a disabled military veteran.
[0010] It is a further objective of this invention to provide a user with a swivel (flexible) gooseneck shaft for allowing multiple viewing angle adjustments.
[0011] It is yet a further objective of this invention to provide a user with a media entertainment center system with greater utility and better options, thus it is an objective to provide a disabled user with inclusion. The intended user is of any age-gender, disabled or non-disabled person.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, thin panel TV systems have a basic design and are supported on a stand at a distance which creates an accessibility void, handicaps, inconveniences, and places a user especially a disabled bed-bound and wheelchair-scooter-bound user at a disadvantage.
A few key issues and disadvantages of the existing thin panel TV systems that impacts a user are: hands-on access at arms length reach is limited due to the physical set-up and location in a room, engineering designs are restrictive and insensitive to a disabled user mobility requirements while bedbound in sustaining freedom with independence and the existing automobile thin panel TV systems is a possible highway safety hazard.
