In Reply to: RE: Flatscreen mounting question. Drywall Studs-do they have any side holes? posted by Jon L on May 15, 2010 at 18:21:25
Wood studs won't have any holes, metal ones do, but you still have to find them. You can cut 2" vertically wide holes horizontal across the wall, just enough to get a drill with a long bit to each stud. Screw a 4" vertically wide plywood backer board inside to secure the new drywall patch pieces.
Drywall itself is pretty easy to remove and replace, as long as you have matching paint to finish. If it has a plaster coating, matching the swirl is more difficult.
If you do have to open up the drywall to run wires, you could install (2"?) pvc conduit instead, then you can "upgrade" the cables later if need be.
But there are plastic and metal surface mounted raceways that might work, just run it on the bottom of the baseboard trim.
Luckily today we just need to run one or two HDMI cables to the set, instead of three cables for the video plus two audio per source. The Blue Jeans component cable I was using was the thickness of a garden hose!
