I would either use the external (and paintable) wire channels already mentioned or remove the molding and cut-off about an inch or so of the drywall behind the molding to make room for the cables. Some people even take a router to the backs of the molding strips to make more room.

I personally would not mount a display above a fireplace. You are going to get heat rising from the fireplace which certainly will not be healthy for your display in the long run not to mention that mounting the display that high is not the ideal position unless you prefer to always be looking up and have your neck cranked back.
