Plasma/LCD install question

I still have my good old Sony Trinitron 27", but I was considering going flatscreen at some point. I've noticed that anytime you see a picture of a plasma or LCD in a room, it's mounted on the wall with no visible cables at all. I'm wondering: is this feasable? I know obviously you COULD route them in the wall, but what about power? Wouldn't you want access to that just in case?

Maybe I'm a little slow, but it seems one of the main features of these screens is to be able to mount it at a good level on the wall and make it look clean. Anybody have theirs installed like this?
 
Most plasma/LCD wall mounts use brackets and plugs in the wall behind the TV to hold and route the cables. The mounting hardware itself allows for the bottom of the TV to be tilted out away from the wall so that you can gain access to the cables and connections on the back of the TV if needed.

If you don't have experience mounting a TV, I highly recommend that you hire someone to do it. Even if you don't end up routing the cables through the wall, you have to make sure the mounting brackets are properly attached to supports within the wall that are capable of handling the weight of the TV securely enough that the TV won't fall if the wall is bumped (or in case of an earthquake or other 'shaking' of the wall).
