And from what I've seen, the curved TVs can do wonders for glare in most circumstances Someday I want a TV that is just the entire freaking wall

That proprietary connector is too big to run through my wall, plus its not long enough anyway. It just hangs loose behind the TV right now until I figure out what to do when I get a new mount.

Precisely... also me messing up the HDMI cable Or really it was just me not being patient. I should have just used the one in the wall for the time being and ordered the slim monoprice one in the first place. I got everything looking clean (from the front) now with the new cable. Of course, I still messed up something and didn't tape my fish line (thin SS hanging wire) to the cables well enough and it came loose halfway in the wall. So it'll be a pain to add any new cables.

I previously had a thick HDMI cable, RG-6, and CAT5e filling the smurf tube in the wall. Now it's one really thin HDMI cable
I'm thinking the CAT6 I have might actually work as a fish line itself. It's in-wall rated, so solid cable Probably won't bother with the RG-6 again - I don't think I'll ever need to run it to the TV. The wall plates are singles with 2 ports and an opening for the HDMI cable - just thinking what to run in the second port. Digital coax would have been a consideration before ARC.

I'm going to use this on my wife
I'll show her the mess behind the TV and tell her that it wouldn't have been a problem with the curved TV ... and then I will present her with flowers and chocolates for being an a$$

When I was shopping for the boxes/wall plates I looked at the keyed units for expansion and modular design and then decided to say F it and bought the big grommet |
