I just ran wire chases in a fireplace surround. I did use a recessed receptacle, and it would have been nice to have this along with it. My wire chase is just a two and a half inch white pvc fitting that is flush with the drywall. I positioned it so it comes out right at the heart of my tv's back panel. It works well, but when I tilt the tv forward to plug in a new wire or adjust one, the hdmi comes unplugged.
