Installing a wall-mounted TV is not as simple as it may first appear. Deciding where to put your new flat-screen TV and which wall mount to use to get the best viewing out of your television can feel a little overwhelming if you’ve never done it before, and then, when the mission is accomplished you sit back to relax and watch your favourite program… and you can’t see beyond the mess of wires and cables that are left hanging down!
The key to making a success of any DIY job is to plan ahead before you start. Decide where you want to place your TV, and locate the electrical outlet you are going to plug it into. Then you can plan the length of cable you will need and the best way to conceal it. There are many products available today that are designed to keep your cables neat and out of sight, so you need to decide which option best suits your aesthetic desires, your ability and your budget.
If cables are going to be a real bugbear for you, then there are plenty of wireless devices available to help minimise the amount of cable you need. Wireless HDMI kits are great for a clean wall set-up, wireless soundbars and streaming devices are available, and built-in WiFi means there is no need for Ethernet cables.
When it comes to cable management, there are lots of options out there; you need to decide on the results you want to achieve, the amount you want to spend and the work involved.
