A television on the wall with a soundbar sitting on the cabinet below never quite lines up. Mounting the bar to the wall fixes it, and it is a short job while the drill is already out.
Most bars ship with a bracket, and where they do not there is a universal one that works. The gap matters: too close and it blocks the IR receiver, too far and it reads as an afterthought. We set the height with the TV switched on so you can see it.
Streaming box, console, receiver — a floating shelf under the screen keeps them off the floor and lets cables drop straight into the same run as the power. Shelves go into studs or masonry anchors, same rules as the TV itself.
With a wireless sub there is almost nothing to hide. For full surround the rear runs are the real work, and how far we get depends on the building — a single-storey house with attic access is straightforward, a slab-built condo is not.
Xbox and PlayStation brackets exist and they work. Give them air: a console shut into a cabinet runs its fan permanently and gets loud.
Added to the TV install while we are there. On its own it is still worth a call — we will say honestly whether it justifies a trip.

Filmed on real installs around Tampa Bay, with what each one came to.
Bracket bolted into the studs, then a hole cut for a recessed power kit so the cable runs inside the wall instead of down the plaster.
What it came toabout $300
Height measured against the seating position first, then a swing-arm mount so the screen turns towards the desk or the bed.
What it came toabout $200
Feet off, plate assembled on site, studs marked, and the screen set at the height where the cabinet below still works as a media unit.

Called at nine, screen was on the wall by two. He found the studs off-centre from where I assumed they were and moved the mount over four inches rather than bolting into drywall. Cable went inside the wall, no trunking.
Our wall is block under the stucco and two other companies said it was fine with regular anchors. These guys turned up with a hammer drill and the right fixings, and told me upfront the cable would have to go in a painted raceway. Price was what I was quoted on the phone.
Wanted the TV over the fireplace. He measured the heat above the firebox, showed me the reading, and said he would rather put it on the side wall. Ended up better for watching anyway. Appreciated not being sold the thing I asked for.
Two of them came for the 75-inch, which mattered because I could not have helped lift it. Shoe covers on, dust sheet down, hoovered after. The bill matched the quote exactly.
Old mount was sagging from the previous owner. They took it down, patched the holes properly so I could paint over them, and put up a full-motion one. Took about an hour and a half.
Booked for the lanai. He explained why the outdoor bracket costs more and why the standard one rusts here within a season. Straight answer, no upsell theatre.
Answer four quick questions and take $30 off the job.

Question 2 of 6
Masonry needs different anchors and takes longer to drill.
Question 3 of 6
Using your own costs nothing extra — we just check it holds the weight.
Question 4 of 6
In-wall runs use a code-compliant power kit.
Question 5 of 6
Pick as many as you need, or say no thanks.

It can, if it sits too high. That is why we set the height with the TV switched on rather than by measurement alone.
Sometimes. With attic or crawl access it is doable. In a slab-built condo the honest answer is usually no, and a wireless rear kit is the better spend.
