    Or you can use these with any decora wallplate. These are nice because they are reversible


    Use these along with an "existing construction" low voltage bracket.

    My new favorite for installation behind flat panel displays are these:

    They give you the ability to power the display through a UPS or power conditioner. There are a bunch of companies making these type of combo plates now that also include the low voltage audio/video connections on the plates.
    I may give those a try when my TV mount gets here. I was just going to use one of those exterior cable management raceways but those wallplates look really nice. I just dread fishing cable, even if it's only a few feet.

    Kick a hole in the wall and then patch it. What's the problem?

    Actually I'm just bumping this thread even though I just subscribed to it. Those wall plates and wire solutions are gonna come in handy for me and I'm guessing more than a few others.
