A quick question for any TV and hi-fi experts here.

We want to set up our TV at the foot of the bed in the bedroom. It’s important for us that the back of the TV, which faces the room, looks tidy and that there’s some hidden cable management, so it doesn’t look messy when you enter the room. I’ve already thought of a few ideas:

1. Buy a ready-made TV stand and customize it by attaching a nice wooden panel to the back of the VESA mount, so all the cables and stuff are hidden.

2. Build a kind of freestanding drywall partition or a double-layered wooden wall as a room divider, leaving the inside hollow to hide the cables.

3. Similar to option 2, but use a wardrobe or chest of drawers as a room divider, cover the ugly back panel with a nice wooden board, mount the TV with a wall bracket on that panel, and hide the cables inside the furniture. Plus, you get extra storage space.

Or are there simpler options that offer a better balance between cost and effort that I might be missing?

The TV is intentionally planned for the foot of the bed so no one has to twist their neck or lie on their side to watch. The wall behind the TV will be used for a wardrobe or similar since we need the storage.

Buy a Samsung Serif. It solves all problems. It comes with stands, the back is attractive, and the cables can be routed discreetly.
These devices are mainly available through furniture retailers or online.
