Here is a recent TV mounting Brentwood Austin job by Bat City TV. Brentwood is a central Austin neighborhood of 1950s ranch homes and updated bungalows along Woodrow Avenue and Arroyo Seco, close to the Allandale and Crestview shopping corridors. When a Brentwood homeowner reached out to Bat City TV about mounting their 65-inch Samsung TV above a media cabinet with a Sonos Beam soundbar sitting on the furniture below, they wanted a clean, level result that worked with the room they had already put together.

The install was a 65-inch Samsung TV mounted on the wall above the media cabinet, with the Sonos Beam soundbar sitting on top of the cabinet below the display. This is a common living room setup, with the TV on the wall and the soundbar on the furniture, and making it look right depends on the mounting height of the TV relative to the top of the cabinet and the soundbar. The TV needs to clear the soundbar so it does not block the IR remote sensor or the bottom speakers, without leaving so much space that the two pieces look disconnected. We measured the cabinet height, the Beam dimensions, and a comfortable viewing height for the room’s seating before placing the bracket, then mounted the Samsung level so the TV and Beam work together.

Mounting a TV above a media cabinet with a soundbar on the furniture looks simple but has a few variables. The viewing height has to account for the cabinet height plus the soundbar, the TV center relative to seated eye level, and how the cabinet, soundbar, and TV look together on the wall. Get the mounting height off by a few inches and the setup either cranes the viewer’s neck or leaves the soundbar floating apart from the display. We measure the cabinet, soundbar, and TV together before drilling, and we can confirm the position with the homeowner seated before the bracket goes up.

The TV-above-cabinet setup with a soundbar on the furniture is a good starting point, and for Brentwood homeowners who want to go further, in-wall power is an upgrade that makes a visible difference. Running the TV’s power cord inside the wall removes the one cord that stays visible in this configuration. Bat City TV also offers soundbar wall mounting if you’d rather get the Beam off the cabinet and onto a dedicated bracket below the TV.
