I'm getting more impressed with this VERY light-weight folding GENIE Lift for smaller TV lifting. (#71-155D in C&H Catalog) ($553). Here are some good links below w/ photos & specs showing more than the catalogs do. If needed, I could add a slightly larger platform to it. This might be a lift I would consider using everyday - I'm still researching and looking for comments from others!
