Italian term

Motorizzato a scomparsa (URGENTE)

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Computers (general) Monitor
Contesto: accessori per AUTOBUS

Monitor TFT 8” a colori con funzioni “on screen” con ingresso video composito.
Idoneo ad impianti di intrattenimento e di sorveglianza.
Viene fornito completo di cavo di collegamento e di supporto metallico, con staffa ad inclinazione regolabile, predisposta per il fissaggio da sotto o da sopra e con viti antifurto
Angolo di visuale (laterale – sopra – sotto)
Disponibile nelle seguenti versioni:
Fisso
da Incasso
*** Movimentato a scomparsa *** (solo per 15” e 12”).

(qui "movimentato" ha il senso di "motorizzato")
So che in francese, "monitor motorizzato a scomparsa" = "moniteur motorisé escamotable"
ma avrei necessità di sapere il "nome tecnico del settore" in INGLESE.

In questo sito, ecco una bella FOTO che spiega bene di cosa si tratta =

Grazie 1000 per l'aiuto celere..

I'm not at all taking anything badly. I think I was confused by your response ("Su GOOGLE dipende sempre dal modo in cui si fanno le ricerche, e dai contesti"), since the Google hits were from the same context as your question.
elysee (asker) Nov 8, 2005:
Michele e Emma: Non ho MAI DETTO che qualcuno inventava terminologia, non capisco perch� te la prendi male (forse hai capito male il senso delle mie note..) Grazie tuttavia per la tua ricerca. Ciao.
Michele Fauble Nov 8, 2005:
The Google numbers I have mentioned are for sites containing the English terms used for the device referred to in your question. (I don't see the need to "invent" a term if one already exists for the device. Or am I misunderstanding something here?)

Su GOOGLE dipende sempre dal modo in cui si fanno le ricerche, e dai contesti (oltre che capita anche di non trovare un'espressione eppure magari esiste lo stesso) - Tuttavia "motorized retractable" = 21.700 siti (CON LA "Z") e "motorised retractable" = 234 siti (CON LA "S").
1 esempio tra altri = http://www.macewan.ca/web/uploads/SV027/2004-2005_Master_Haa... (projection screen 18'x20' - DSC - motorised retractable)

There are 967 Google hits for 'motorized pull out and close monitor', 24 Google hits for 'motorised fold away screen', 29 for 'motorised retractable screen', 2 for 'motorised retractable monitor', 5 for 'motorised fold away monitor'.

URGENT Rimango con dei dubbi... Ho pensato a "MOTORIZED RETRACTABLE MONITOR"... CHE NE PENSATE? GRAZIE IN ANTICIPO - Secondo il GTD = http://www.granddictionnaire.com/btml/fra/r_motclef/index102...
"escamotable" (il nome francese di cui sono certa) = "retractable" (in inglese).
e dal momento che spesso nel settore tecnico si usa "motorized" (preferenza con la "Z" (confermato anche sul GTD, anche se risulta ok anche con la "S" ma in meno esempi) ...

motorised fold away screen

'a scomparso' is usually 'foldaway' and you can find these screens and monitors as accessories in many cars nowadays- couldn't see the picture but am pretty sure of what it is!

sorry did a copy and paste from a webiste for the translation - should be either 'foldaway' (one word) or with a hyphen

I think motorized retractable monitor is fine too

I don't think that the difference between 'ise' and 'ize'is all that important - isn't it just a Brit/US English difference really?

Peer comment(s):
agree S K : fold away may suggest particular method of storage whereas this option would better describe the method by which the monitor disappears

Thanks. I suggested this answer because it seemed to be the most common term for the type of device referred to (TFT 8" monitor).
