Hiding wall-mounted TV cables

[burns flipper]

If we had one on a stand, the cables would go down the back of the stand, right? I might just do that instead. We have to have somehwre to put the DVD player and the Wii anyway, so will need one of those small cabinets nearby - might as well have the TV on a stand on the cabinet thing. As long as the cabinet is smaller than the one we have now, which a big CRT TV sits on, she will probably be happy.

Is it just my personal preference to have a TV quite low down, like on a stand, or do most people who wall mount LCD/Plasma TVs mount them very high up?

Most of the wall mounted TVs that I see are way too high up for my liking.

If you have a stand, the cables should just go down the back of the stand. Our LCD TV is on a glass stand with no back and the cables are clearly visible, but at least they aren't hanging down the wall.
