would like sugestions for building height adjusting stand w/ tilt mnt
(OP)
Please pardon my lack of technical knowledge here, but I'm interested getting suggestions on making a large flat screen monitor mount that would need to do the following:
via a remote control (1) raise the monitor up or down by about 10" as well as (2) tilt the monitor forward or backwards by 30degrees. This would be indoors and in a normal temp environment.
For the aspects of what it will need to do:
(1) consist of a tube that's not more than 3-5" in diameter as the base and have a slightly larger tube that will fit over the top. This larger tube will need to raise / lower about 10" via a remote controlled motor lift. It will need to support about 100LB while being raised.
(2) have a mounting plate attached to one side of the upper tube (that a flat screen monitor can attach to) this plate will need to be able to tilt by about 30 degrees either up or down
I'm basically trying to decide if I should go with a belt driven lift, or a "threaded screw" type lift for part (1).
As far as the tilting assembly, I'm not sure.
This is for a hobby project, so I unfortunately don't have any funds to pay for engineering.
Any thoughts & suggestions would be appreciated.

You need to look at, and learn about, "linear actuators". Google them and you will see what I mean.
You would want one running the stand the FPanel sits on and the second mounted for the tipping aspect.
