I need to hide TV cables (Solid wall no cavity)
I am not willing to chase the cables into the wall so guess I need to use a Raceway.
What brand should I get?
Do I have any other options?
How to Hide TV Cables (Solid Wall No Cavity)

If you get one of the many Samsung tvs, they only have one cable (small and clear) that runs out to a connector box where you plug everything else in. Its pretty clean.
Not sure what TV you have but thats one option?
otherwise, solid brick wall is hard to work when trying to hide cables. You will have to use a raceway or have somehting else hide the cables, i.e. TV unit.
conduit
Beer cans and pizza boxes
Camo tape
I can never find my roll of camo tape.
Where's MS paint diagram ?

You need something like this or similar: https://www.bunnings.com.au/d-line-50-x-25mm-1m-tv-wall-drop…
Yep - one of these, scrape some paint off the wall, get it tested at Bunnings so you can get a sample pot - paint the conduit the same colour, that's as good as you'll get.
Can vouch for this, i have one on these on one of the TVs for close to 5 years now, and as raisinberry777 said, paint the same colour as the wall and it will look great, but won't be 'invisible'.
I think this is the answer
Get some floor to ceiling artwork. Mount it to the wall on stand offs ~20mm. Make it a feature. Sneak all your cables behind it.
I like the idea but the ones I have seen look tacky. Any good examples?
This is the closest I can find to what is in my head.

Conduit. Paint over the top. Done.
Maybe grab a HDMI switch so you only have the one hdmi cable, antenna (or grab a chromecast and set up free to air channels on that) and power cable and done.
TV is mounted on the wall, flush against it or on one of those mounting things that sticks out a bit?
