I got a larger TV and it is hung on the wall. The cords are hanging down and look terrible. What can I do to hide the cords and make it look presentable? Thank you,Sue
You could purchase a cord cover it’s tacks all the cords and will stick to the wall and come down in one spot
Sue...You can paint them the same color or they do have tracks that can be put on the wall and the cords go in them but that, to me, shows just as much. Some people sew material together and run the cord inside too.
HI Sue I found 2 options and I would probably go with the second cause making holes in the walls I would fear would make more work for me :)

Hopefully one will work for you good luck with your project
Hi Sue, my son used the cord cover that Kathy is telling you about and it makes it look much nicer.
If you have enough cord, bring them together in one spot under the TV and get the width cover needed to hold the two cords. Run the cover down the wall to the outlet. If you have a console or something under the TV, you can run the cover to just below the top if the cords don't show through it. If you don't have enough cord, use a cover for both cords going down. They have curves and corners for whatever track you need to follow. You can also paint them to match your wall cover. I get mine at Home Depot, they have a great selections of different widths, heights and other pieces you will need to hide the cords. I hope this helps you hide your cords, Sue!
We bought a large pvc pipe, cut to to the height of the tv, painted it to match our room and put the cords through it. Holes for the plug in are cut on the backside.
I have mine in a cable cover that I painted to match the wall. Yes you know that it is a cable cover, but because it is the same color as the wall, it is not distracting.
