So you finally got yourself an anorexically thin television and cant wait to show it off. The best way to do that would of course be to hang it from the wall or somewhere so it can be admired from all around.
Hang on, what about the wires though? those rascals didnt go on diet and are still the same 360 degree thick versions of themselves. If you want to make it look perfect then the solution is to go wireless or as close to wire-free as possible.
One company is trying to overcome that obstacle by making audio, video and electrical wires that disappear once they're painted over. Called FlatWire, the wires are flat and, when covered with a blending compound like plaster and then painted over, melds into the wall.
Basically FlatWire works like this: You spray the FlatWire adhesive to the wall and then attach the electrical or audio-video wire. (You have 10 to 15 minutes to adjust the wire). The FlatWire Ready interconnect transforms the FlatWire to a standard plug or device. You then cover the wire with blending compound, sand and paint or wallpaper and the wires will be invisible to the eye. The wires range from 4/1000 of an inch to 16/1000 of an inch, or about as thin as a business card.
The fact that you would be able to do this yourself and not ask a professional for help would be able to equal costs.
