This cancels any effect gravity would have at undoing the desired tilt angle you just set your TV to. If I get a chance I'll dig up some diagrams to explain it better.
Were you able to do it? I remember linkages from one of my ME classes. All I remember about them is writing a matlab code using complex exponential functions.
