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

I don’t really understand how you reduce the number of cables, but maybe I can push my three cables through there. 😉

This is relatively simple. An AVR (audio-video receiver) with HDMI inputs. All devices in use are connected to the inputs. The TV is connected to the output. From the TV, an optical cable runs back to the receiver to allow the TV audio to be played through the surround system as well.

Top answer Robson. I just have all the consoles connected to a switch; otherwise, it gets confusing. Then the AVR.

Links are probably not allowed here. So try searching on Amazon for "brush flush-mounted box." Place one at the top near the TV and one at the bottom, with a thick conduit between them. For example, a flat conduit with some elbow joints. These are also available on Amazon.

This is how I imagine it for my living room. I also found a do-it-yourself video on YouTube about this.

However, there are also TVs and compatible HDMI cables that support ARC (Audio Return Channel). This eliminates the need for the optical cable!

Thanks @Kayan, I didn’t know that either.
However, I think the OP might be even more "oldschool" than I am [emoji12]
I’ll have to check if my TV can do that.
