I am no good at this sort of stuff either. There *are* tools that a regular installer would have that make it a lot easier, not inexpensive, not the kind of thing you'd buy to use once. Plus requires some skill/experience LOL.

I would probably use paintable surface channel. Do an immediate vertical drop (less noticeable to the eye) from the plasma, then run it horizontally as close to the floor/moulding as possible (so there's not a separate entity to draw the eye). A variation of this would be to use the channel on the opposite side of the wall the plasma is mounted on, if a less "important" room (i.e. the room opposite my HT room is a laundry room, who cares what it looks like).
