Hide the wires solution

[paul0660]

I don't care about wires, they drive wifey crazy (short trip).

Anyway how to stick HDMI, power, and cable into wall behind lower cabinet and exit behind TV wall mounted above.

Cheap is good, if it is beyond just leaving two rough holes and fishing. Ideas? It should look good enough to be able to sell the home eventually. Thanks.

Use these -

Most can be painted to match the wall.

Standard power cables are not rated for in-wall installation. That's how I convinced my wife.

FIRE HAZARD DEAR!

old work box with the proper cutouts. Locate next to stud. Use in-wall wire. Cut, fish, terminate.

Done.

It isn't that hard. I had to pull a strip of drywall off to route around some existing obstacles, but dry wall is easy to repair and it took a whole day from start to finish with painting.

Ditto to what White Rabbit said.

Using a work/outlet box would also allow you to add a blank plate when/ if you move and avoid any patch work.

It may take a bit of planning so that your hole is in the right spot to run the wires to the inputs of the TV. e.g. hole off-center toward the right if that is where the inputs are.

I like that corner idea.

That is what I will do, like I said in the OP. I was asking what wall plates or etc. to use. I have found some options.

Turns out AC and low voltage cannot be in the same box so I will go HDMI and cable in one and AC in another.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Killer Bee - that looks great.
