Flat screen install
Planning on getting a new 55-60 flatscreen TV soon, and wondering what people like Best Buy or whoever, charge to install directly on wall with no wires showing. I'm guessing in the $100-150 range? This is in case I chicken out on doing it myself. :)

best buy charged me 500, wife said i would drop it and agreed to install. it took them about 20 minutes.AND I ran the cables through the wall.

No way I'm paying $500. When the time comes, I'll tackle it myself.

I've installed several and price is $175 if your TV right above your cable box and right above outlet. The price goes up if a new outlet needs to be run and also where you want your cable box/dvd/etc located. If you're devices are located just below the TV then HDMI cables won't cost much but if you plan on putting devices in a nearby closet or another room then the cable prices can add up quick. Since you're planning ahead check out monoprice.com for TV mount and cables. It'll be 1/4 the price of Best Buy. You may need an infrared remote if you plan on putting cable box in a closet or another room. Infrared will work through walls. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harm...nfrared+remote

I think there are "kits" available that include face plates and power cords and such? Thanks guys.

Not at all hard to do. If you are using an articulating mount some will have channeling through the articulating frame to run your cable in a hidden manor, if you are using a simple flush mount try to have your cabling come out right behind the set to keep it hidden. I've got a bigger project than that this weekend, I'm installing an 8 camera high def security camera system. Tired of the damn thieves.
