Who has hidden all the wiring on there wall mounted plasma's or LCD TV's? I'm currently decorating at my new house and want to hide the wiring so need idea's, I have a few but its alot of work my way. Is there anyway to get it wireless? Of course it will still need power lead but something for the scarts, I run a freeview box, Wii and playstation through the TV.

Lets here some idea's.

 

I had all my walls chased out up to the loft installed soo many wires i spent over 700 quid on diff connections etc, i do have 3 plasmas round the house tho lol, all wall mounted do it once do it properly as many diff wires as poss.

 

Thatys why I need to do it right now as the walls are bare.

 

Plasterboard wall Danny?

I've done a few installs for friends and family, and it looks so much better:

Before:



After (before painting):

 

It was relativley easy for me as I used the old chimney breast for my install which meant all cables could be hidden easily.
wall plates are available for speaker terminals, hdmi etc, just search the net for them

see how many connections there are on the back of the Tv, will you use all of them. Will you get any hdmi sources like sky hd , ps3 or new dvd player. If so run these cables in but make sure you can access them at a later date.
what about VGA monitor cable for using a laptop run this in too, then you can use a wireless keyboard and surf the net from the comfort of your sofa.





all of my speaker cables are run under the floorboards for my surround sound and come out at the old fireplace hole.



this shows some of the cables like power, vga , scart and hdmi



voila the finished product.


use as much forward planning as possible then you wont need to do anything to it in future.

 

mines a chimney wall so brick, I like the way you have done yours Ronnie.

 

Sorry know its off topic But..

Danny Did you get my PM mate?

Cheers

 

Really nice looking setups there

 

2 x DVD changers (1 pal, 1 ntsc), dd amp, cable box and xbox hidden in the toilet cupboard behind the TV, all controlled via RF pronto, subwoofer in sideboard, no wires on show at all



Wires in the toilet hidden in trunking running above the skirting...

 

Can you not just chase out enough space for a large piece of pipe then you could plaster over it and whenever you needed to put a new wire in you could just thread it down the pipe?

Job done

 

Thats what I did

 

you can buy specific tv trunking that goes behing plaster or plaster board, i have these in my house, basically its a box section with angled end which sits flush with the wall once chassed in.
