Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation Re: Wall-Mounted TV 4Sep 04, 2009 1:15 pm sg Hey all, I intend to install a 50-55" tv on a wall in my living room. extra noggins will be in place to support the tv. I am just alittle confused about the wiring. A powerpoint will be located behind the tv, my question relates to the cabling for the TV - should i install a faceplate to plug the HDMI cable in at the wall behind the tv, and then another face plate where the dvd/amp etc is located, therefore using 3 separate cables, or, is it better to use the same cable and only use a cable cover like the ones on a computer desk? I would prefer to use only one cable as i am led to beleive that the more cable connections, the greater detioration in picture quality. I am by no means an audiophile/techhead, but if i am spending big $$$ on a home theatre setup i dont want any compromises. Cheers for any help. Hi SG. For HDMI, I actually believe it is better to just use one of those cable portals (like on a computer desk) or something like it and just have the one HDMI cable, for the exact reasons you mentioned (and the fact that HDMI really does deteriorate over distance and joins in the cable path). If it was analogue stuff (Composite/Component/S-Video and analogue audio, even RF) then wallpates and joins are no issue, but HDMI is fussy so the less breaks in the cable path the better... Hello everyone, I have a question regarding moving a chandelier after it has been mounted. The chandelier in question is quite large, measuring 4 meters… 0 72508 Thank you again Simeon..
