I understand the need for the media player with a tv like this. You have to have somewhere for connections and speakers to go. But, at the very least, figure out how to make the connecting cable safe to run in the wall, and make it long enough, or customizable, for a real install.
I think it is a matter of perspective. Like davet pointed out, it has speakers and so it is more of a soundbar than a media player. So if it is used that way the shape of it makes sense and the placerment should be "stuck" to the TV. So I don't see it as an issue. BUT as custom installers I agree with you that it is mostly useless until a "media player" option is available and then fireproofined cable and a different shape would be needed.
