How would you hide these cables from our big screen TV?
I bought a big screen plasma TV for my husband, and he hung it, and the black cables look HORRIBLE! How would you hide them?
Put them behind the wall. Make a hole in the wall behind the TV and another near the floor. Feed the cable behind the wall between the holes. You can probably buy cover plates to make it look professional.
If you are not able to do that there are cable runners that can go over the cable and can be stuck or nailed to the wall. You can paint it.
Here is one example. http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/hingedraceway.php?gclid=CMH3_pvap44CFQY-hgodNWyzSw

go check out the lumber stores–there has got to be some kind of trim with a hollow that you can cover the cables with then paint it the same color as your wall

If you can’t put them behind the wall, how about pvc pipe. This pipe can be painted etc.

If the cables are high up, you can hide them behind some crown molding that runs along the ceiling. This is especially good if you have surround sound speakers hanging in the corners of the room too. If that’s too much they have these white tubes that you feed the wire through and attach to the wall. It’s not as clean looking but since it’s white it’s better than black wires.

If you can’t or don’t want to drill into the wall, try something like this…
