FLAT TV Panel hidding cords


I have a SAMSUNG LED mounted VERY close to the wall all wires run thru wall. ALL codes say run electical wire outside(leaving one cable hanging down or move electrical box up behind TV. I am not a electrican but do not see what 3'of tv cord would really cause wires to get hot, Opinions?

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