Wall mounted TV cables?

[DeeJay]

What have you done with your cables on your wall mounted TV's, I dont want to see any sign that they are there my TV is mounted onto solid block just looking for different idea's

~I use a cable tidy, it 'hugs' all my cables together into one tube so i've just got one thin tube going down the wall.

Not mine, but a friend had theirs buried into the wall. More work but perfect solution. You could surface mount trunking and paint it the colour of the wall, not invisible but far better than trailing wires.

I've surface mounted some conduit to get the leads up to my projector. Id recomend that along with the painting of the conduit.. If you own the home and always plan on having the TV on that wall then you could put them behind the wall and use a breakout box by you sky/virgin/whatever to get the cables into the wall.

Ikea sell stuff that runs down the wall, it's about 6 inches wide in a subtle dome, when you paint or wall paper over it, you can hardly see its there.

Sunk all mine into the wall is alot more work but you can't see any wires at all but that's coz I don't like conduit you can see it even if it's painted, it's down to personal preference how you want it to look.

Cheers for the replys i think im going to to build a fake chimney breast, made from timber and plasterboard, not far out from the wall but with enough room to put cables down, this way i will still be able to access the cables if ever i need to replace or add more. ill let you know how it goes.

I have a false wall its mounted on, built in a recess with 2x2 battons, faced with MDF.

 

Theres a supportless shelf at the top which DVDs etc can sit on, and the centre speaker. This meant the false bit didnt have to dgo to the celing, and gives the illusion that its just the wall.
