Adding an IEC outlet to TV set


Has anyone tried taking out the stock power cord from their TV and replacing it with an IEC outlet? I wonder if using a high end power cord would affect picture quality. Seems that any benefits of after market cords would be more apparent on a TV than on audio gear.

I did what you said and cut the stock cord on my TV. I tried an Electra Glide cord out and it works great. The image is much more pleasing and there is less graininess in the video. A nice tweak for video quality. Sure, the cord costs as much as some peoples TV sets, but it works!

I don't think I will punch a hole in the back panel on my TV. I'm just going to use the stub of the stock cord soldered to an IEC male connector. I'll probably do too much cosmetic damage trying to punch out a hole on the back panel.
