ᐅ Mounting a TV on the Wall

Hello everyone,
we are planning our apartment and therefore also the electrical installation.
The TV will be wall-mounted in the future. For this, we will place the power outlet higher so that it is hidden behind the device and no cable is visible. The network socket is also behind it. But: HDMI needs to be routed to the devices standing below the TV. Then I have a cable again. How do you solve this problem?
Thanks and best regards

Just install a cable duct inside the wall. That’s what we did as well.

Cable duct with flush-mounted sockets installed at the top and bottom (not yet visible in the picture)
Construction site wall with insulation material, pipes, and measuring rod in the middle

That doesn’t sound very promising.
There definitely won’t be any devices installed above the TV. 😉 And there will probably be three HDMI cables rather than just one (receiver, amplifier, Blu-ray player)...
There isn’t such a thing as an HDMI network bridge, is there?

Isn’t there usually only one cable going from the AV receiver to the TV? Everything else should connect there.

Although it has nothing to do with networks or bridges, searching for HDMI switch on Amazon returns 154 pages of results.

What is wrong with the (in my opinion most elegant solution) of embedding the cable duct in the plaster? This option offers the greatest flexibility, remains invisible, and allows for many cables to be routed through.
