Hiding cables on wall mounted tv

[Bunkermagnet]

It's a cheap TV but fine for the bedroom. Not worth buying a new one for.

I've watched a few helpful Americans and I think a bit of screwfix trunking is starting to look more attractive. If it was in the living room it would be worth getting someone in to do it properly but it's looking overly complicated for me, for what it is.

No more nails for the trunking to the wall?

Forget Screwfix..TLC Direct
Thats where I would go

Trunking comes with a sticky backing just pull of the cover, or you can get it without the sticky back and just fix it with a few drywall screws.

Coving is so 70's.

Or do you mean the people who have are that age?

Coving is so 70's.

Same year as your hair cut?

Probably both.

My mate got his wife to cut his hair in lockdown, and he now has a scar on his eyelid.

Thanks for the tip but they are southern only in branch terms and for delivery the moq is way more than required. I'm passing a screwfix branch on Thursday and they have some in stock. It's the simplest option.

Bedroom? Is it possible to run the cables up from the alcove, through the ceiling into the loft then drop down behind the tv?

That's a clever idea but I'd still end up having to enclose the wires dropping down from the ceiling to the back of the TV. I'm also not 100% that the cables would be long enough. I might end up over engineering a solution that is simple to resolve, albeit not quite as slick.

I'm going to use some D-Line trunking for the cables, thanks to whoever it was on page 1 suggested screwfix for that, but this has given me food for thought for future. Downstairs TV is on a tv table stand but as TV's get bigger they become harder to fit on them. The next TV may go on a wall and this has given me ideas for how to hide those cables.

You are a very brave man.

You are a very brave man.

Only born out of the fact that I can still run when I need to.

Mrs D has cut my hair since 1973 - luckily she is a qualified hair dresser ?

Stay away from the no nails stuff unless it’s a very permanent job (meaning when they carry you out in a box). Less hassle, change the wife.

Not a big job if memory serves

Hang on a minute. Why would you think this is so strange?

Got a 65" Samsung and three KEF T301s hanging on a stud wall.
