Questions, answered
Should I run TV cables inside the wall instead?
In-wall rated cable kits look best but require cutting drywall and code-compliant cable. A paintable raceway gets you 90 percent of the look with 10 percent of the effort and no drywall repair.
How do I hide cables for a wall-mounted TV with no console below?
Run a raceway channel straight down to the outlet, or to a small floating shelf holding your streamer. The channel is the clean solution when there is no furniture to hide behind.
Can a soundbar cable go in the same raceway as power?
Yes for low-voltage cables like HDMI and optical alongside the TV power cord in a raceway. Keep high-current appliance cords on separate runs as a best practice.
