I have a new client that's hired me to relocate a TV she recently purchased from HHGregg to the wall above her fireplace. This Samsung has the [ridiculous] outboard connection module.
Are there longer, in-wall-rated, proprietary media cables for these televisions or do I have to figure out how to stow the external input module behind the wall-mounted display and run multiple HDMI's as per normal?
Experience appreciated.

The box is small & thin, most areas behind the TV will not even cause any extra depth. So the question I would ask: why wouldn't you just slap it to the back of the TV and treat it like any other. I usually use a dot of velcro, it doesn't take much to keep it in place.

Yep. Sell more cables and labor. Winning!

Or one cable and an HDMI switch.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

Yup--That's the plan, but wanted to know if there was an option. This all begs the question: Why the hell did Sammy externalize the inputs? Was all of this just to offer an "upgrade path" for non-HDCP 2.2 compliant inputs sold on 4K televisions during the chipset transition?

I think it was so they could advertise how thin the TV is "as pictured" in ads. And ads never show wires.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
