| Oct 26, 2022 at 18:16 | comment | added | user82600 | I get it :) It's difficult to explain why I "need" this, but the easiest way to describe it is that I seem to have a touch of OCD when it comes to organization that I consider "finished". | |

I know you didn't come here for decorating advice. :O. But this kind of concern is usually from people buying a big showpiece TV like a Samsung Frame. Then you run one HDMI cable from the TV to some remote location, like a cabinet at the back of the room, where you put all your equipment with an HDMI switch. | |

Thank you for that - this is pretty much exactly what I needed to know. However, everything else you said is also quite useful :) | |
