Mike,
I built it. The off the shelf ones are crazy expensive.
It's just a 12v linear actuator and 2 ball bearing drawer slides.
I measured the TV as 16" tall, so I needed an actuator with 16" travel. Coupled with a pair of 18" travel drawer slides I had left over from the cabinets it slides up effortlessly.
I made the mount for the back on my CNC plasma cutter, but it's very simple you could make it with basic hand tools and a welder.
I don't have any photos of the mount but I can take some when I take it out to install the tops.

The shower pan will be finished in Conversion Varnish (as will the rest of the bathroom wood), which we use to finish wooden sinks that have held up no issue to daily use for 5+ years so far and we sell commercially with no reported issues.
It's clear.
