Hi Scott2802,

What sort of wall are you mounting it on? - solid brick, stud partition, or what?
This has quite an impact on how easy it is to hide the cables and therefore on what technique best suits your application.

Thanks for you help

its a solid concrete wall - when i intend to redo the room i will get a plasterer in and i will paint over the plaster.

just want to wall mount the tv and hide the wireing - what are my options with this type of wall


thanks

If you're getting a plasterer in anyway, I'd definitely chase the cables into the wall (be sure to put them inside some appropriate tubing). The plasterer can then skim over & Bob's yer Monkhouse .

will that not leave a part in the wall that is sticking out - as in a visible bulge lol

Only if you don't go deep enough . Really, it's easy to do, and you won't even know the cable's there once the plasterer has done his work.

so does he need to cut into the wall to stop a bulge - is this then permanant - how do i add new cables if the situation ever needs be

Here's a thread with some good info.

Well, if you used tubing of a decent diameter, you could pull through new cables when required...maybe...I'm thinking small cables, not scarts! Best option is to run enough wires for the foreseeable.
