Wire concealing

I recently purchased a 42" Plasma and am planning to mount it on my family room wall. The problem that I have is that I live in a split level home and the wall I am using for mounting the TV on has no access to run the wiring.

Does anyone out there know of a wire concealing system out there that won't look terrible going up my wall to the TV?

Browse this webpage for Wiremold. There are several other brands of similar raceway, some that only attaches with doubleback tape.

Thanks for the information this should work out fine if I just paint it to match the wall.

Something else you might consider is a false wall. You can get paneling that can be painted to match. Velcro the paneling to some 1x2s so you can remove it to fix the wires. Make the panel the width of the TV.
