FLAT TV Panel hidding cords

Vernneal, You posted on my thread about mounting a flat screen above the fire place.

Looks like you're working through the same problems. Which Samsung did you go with? Did you buy a regular mount or one of those fancy motorized jobs?

The easiest solution is to make an extension cord out of 12-2 with ground romex for an interior wall as they are hollow and it is easy to run the romex to a lower outlet.

The same applies to a fire place if it is not a masonry fire place.

Use two sheetrock, blue electrical boxes, run the romex to them and then add the plug at one end and a grounded female to the other end and you can buy coevers with a hole in the center to add the finished touch.

Never ever run an electrical cord thru a wall, always use romex.

This will take about an hour to complete. A simple solution that even a novice can complete.

I hope this helps.

LED Samsung. TV Mount is not motorized. Going to have plug moved up. Was quoted $100

Good idea Solstice. How did you ever think of it?

I had an electrician install a clock outlet behind my flat panel. This outlet is recessed because it is intended to provide power to an electric clock that hangs flush against your wall.
