ᐅ Mounting a TV on the Wall

There is no such thing as an HDMI network bridge, right?

Actually, there is, but it costs money and the converters need somewhere to be placed.

I also don’t understand what’s wrong with an in-wall cable conduit. It’s invisible, affordable, and flexible. Personally, even if installing wall outlets looks tidier at first, I would prefer a conduit to avoid extra connection points.

By the way, you only run one HDMI cable to the TV—from the AV receiver. Then power, and possibly network (though it’s better to connect a dedicated source to the AV receiver)—and that’s it.

Power supply, TV/SAT, and network connections could also be placed behind the TV on the wall*. Only HDMI (or whatever will be used in the future) cables need to run from additional devices located "below" to the TV, ideally through a conduit or cable duct concealed within the wall.

*Note: The TV mount will also need to be secured.

Ashamed of myself.
Only when I saw the picture did I understand that you meant an in-wall version. That certainly makes sense as an empty conduit.
However, I don’t understand why there should only be one HDMI cable. My TV has three inputs now—from the cable box, the Blu-ray player, and the hi-fi system. Why would that change?
I really wouldn’t need the network and power lines raised either, but then the conduit would probably be quite full...

As long as the original poster (OP) is not using a receiver with an HDMI output, they are correct that these cables are necessary for the TV. Whether this is still up-to-date or practical is another matter.

Then I would need a 100mm (4 inches) empty conduit.

And I only have one HDMI cable and one optical cable running through the empty conduit.

@toxicmolotow or maybe just clear out the old consoles 😀
