But that's not the case with the new WallWizard brand of motorized TV mounts from CLO Systems.  They're incredibly cheap for motorized mounts, ranging from $129 up to $199. The ZA52 Motorized Swivel Table Stand is a great example.  It's a motorized stand that sits on a table, for those times where a wall-mount isn't practical.  You can use a remote to turn the set up to 90 degrees left or right, and you can even save your favorite positions using the built-in presets.

One of the coolest features of the ZA52, and all WallWizard motorized mounts is that the mount sports an IR receiver that learns from your television remote.  When you turn your TV off the mount resets back to its original position.  Not bad for an MSRP of $199.  The full line of WallWizard mounts is set for availability starting this June.
