Then I went to Home Depot and bought an in-wall cord and cable kit to hide the wires for about $40, you'll need a drill. So I did it for about $75, but I wasn't in a hurry and took my time and the TV was on the smaller size.
Ace Hardware has a similar conduit that I used to hide my cables (I've got power, HDMI, USB and network cables running up to the TV and an optical digital cable running down). I've got a 65" TV on a mount I bought from Costco for about $75. It's not as fancy (or as expensive) as having the cables and power outlet truly hidden behind the TV as a professional installer could have done but it does the job quite well.
