Plasma TV - hiding wires in plaster

[arranj]

I'm about to plaster over a solid wall, and I'll be putting a plasma on it later. With that in mind I would like to put some wires in the wall before I plaster, thus hiding the wires! So - what wires do I need and what for? Do these plasma things have a control box external to the screen - if so - what wires go between it and the screen? Cheers!

Bury the largest conduit that you can in the plaster, having first threaded a length of string through it. You can then run in whatever cables you need. It also future proofs the installation, because plasma screens don't last forever, and there will always be another device to connect to your screen around the corner. (In any case, putting mains cabel directly in to plaster is a bad idea, and probably illegal)

You're going to need a big conduit if you want to push a scart connection in :c)

So you'll probably want enough space in that conduit for S-Video or preferably component video.

If you want to "future proof" it you'd need HDMI connections so that you could make a fully digital connection but you'd need a big conduit for that

I'd put in or get put in another socket from the ring main behind where you are going to put the TV but it'll look odd there until you do so you'll want to be certain
