English translation:motorised retractable / motorised fold away
Entered by: elysee

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / Monitor
Italian term or phrase: Motorizzato a scomparsa (URGENTE)
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 =

motorised fold away screen
Explanation:
'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 don't think that the difference between 'ise' and 'ize'is all that important - isn't it just a Brit/US English difference really?

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).
