Top Reddit reviews mentioning Electronics Mounts:
Power cords carry higher voltage than A/V cords (like HDMI cables). I'm not an electrical engineer or general contractor, but they emit enough heat that it is considered a fire hazard to run them inside residential walls due to lack of air flow. Additionally, it is not up to building code to run such cords within walls.
Instead, you need to either have an electrician properly install wall outlets as needed, or use a type of kit that allows for the TV's power cord to plug into an 'outlet' on the wall, then the kit's to-code cabling runs down and allows you to connect to an existing wall outlet.
Something like this:

As running power cords inside walls violates building code, if your house were to catch fire due to this it's possible your home owners insurance wouldn't pay out a dime.
I have my TV over the fire place. It's the only logical place it could be mounted in my house. I bought one of these mounts:
https://www.amazon.com/MantelMount-MM340-Above-Fireplace-Mount/dp/B01MS1MHET
I love it. It works very well and was easy to install.
OP, please look into a mantelmount! I have one mounted over my fireplace and it's GREAT! I have it positioned up when I want it to look nice for company, and when it's just me and my bf, we've got it pulled down for tv and video games. It's really the best option for any tv mount!
Just make sure you use in wall rated cords (or add a new power outlet with romex cable) for anything with high voltage. There are in-wall kits like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GWGZKF6
Running power cords or extension cords in a wall in the US is against the national electrical code and might break your home owners/renters insurance if you had a problem like a short circuit or a fire directly or indirectly caused.
I used one of these for the super clean look. Pretty easy. Datacomm 50-3323-WH-KIT Flat Panel TV Cable Organizer Kit with Power Solution - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PB7UVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uj5wCbWKSASAD

This is what I used to make sure my house was still to code. link
It’s one of those outlet relocation and cable pass through things you can buy at a hardware store to run cables in the wall for a mounted TV. People who are afraid of adding an outlet will use this to safely/legally (within code) run power from the TV. You would connect an extension cord to the prongs on the wall and plug it into an outlet. AV cables pass through on the right.
Edit: like this product: Datacomm 50-3323-WH-KIT Flat Panel TV Cable Organizer Kit with Power Solution - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PB7UVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i0EACbK9RRKXQ
Honestly, I don’t understand why folks just don’t add an outlet up high above an existing one. It’s cheaper, cleaner, and just as easy to install as one of these things.
No problem. You can find some decent mounts for like 20 bucks on amazon. I use this for my g9, just make sure you get the right size, sometimes amazon links get send you to the right page but wrong selection

What about an $11 wall mount?
Reviews seem solid, and was going to get it but your statement has me a bit paranoid now
Edit: removed amazon referral link
One cable-related comment here: I don't think running your computer's power cord through your wall in that way is up to code in most states. I looked into this when I was wall mounting my TV and ended up buying one of these things to make it work. Most people don't care about this, but you seem like the kind of person who might.
A pretty cheap one from Amazon

Looks to be mounted on drywall, or similar, wall. Most likely has all his cords ran behind the wall with a kit similar to this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GWGZKF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_.c7JBbBVYZ19T
*Note: Anyone who may read this, please dont just cut a hole in the wall behind your tv and lower again behind your console. They make kits like this for a reason and you shouldn't be just running live power cords behind the wall, ESPECIALLY an extension cord.
This the one I got before: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MR397OH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This the one I use now because I cannot use a clamp: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08C712DGL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used this mount from amazon
Certain models will definitely fit. I assume the Uplift model may even fit as well. The foot print is very small. The reason I believe they don't bundle them with the tabletop size that small is because it "could" get in your way since there is less leg room. I assume you wouldn't have issues if you put it as close to the leg frame as possible.
I'm unsure how much your PC weighs, but you can save some money getting from Amazon. I just got my Uplift desk setup this weekend and I got this CPU Holder from Amazon for half the price. Holds up to 22 pounds. I was only using mine for my UPS unit so it worked perfectly. There are other cheaper options on Amazon that are still less than the Uplift holders.
This is the Wall mount I used. This was my first time wall mounting anything and the process was very easy. It took about less than 30 min to mount this. No modifications needed since samsung includes a 100x100 mount piece to attach. The only thing I can suggest is to get stud finder and order a 5/32 wood drill bit if you dont have one. This wall mount supports up to 77lbs, so my g9 hasn't sagged at all and does not wobble. You can also make changes to the tilt from up-down and side to side.
Ha, so I got this mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WYVBR0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I absolutely would not recommend it for this monitor. Mostly because the VESA bracket is universal, so it's really big and just happens to have holes for 100x100 (what the monitor is). A 100x100 mount would fit PERFECTLY with it, it would just go into the back of the monitor and you wouldn't have any issues. But since that mount has a "universal" one, it's bigger, so you have to use spacers and get creative with screw lengths yada yada, tbh it was a huge headache and I probably would have used something like this if I had to do it again: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Wall-Mount-LCD-Arm/dp/B010QZCT5W
I just didn't like that you could see the mount below the monitor with that one, but you get the point of the 100x100 plate.
"PC Desk mount" is what i searched for on amazon, and this is what i have installed here. I did not make use of any of their mounting hardware though, and i used four M6x40mm bolts with nylon locking nuts and washers straight through the desk.
You can order kit from Amazon and install yourself, it doesn't connect to your electrical directly, just have to make sure you have straight conduit between vertical studs, eg there is nothing going horizontal that might block the wires going up and down.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001PB7UVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_5WPXJXTQX28NWM7EHN8V
You need drywall cutter to do the install, and a stud finder.
I've installed a bunch of these, they work well
It was this one, an adjustable 25u rack. It's a comfortable height for me to access stuff on top (I'm 5' 11").
If you ever decide on a fireplace mount at least use a manual/power pull down to bring it down to a height that won't break necks. Like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/MantelMount-MM340-Above-Fireplace-Mount/dp/B01MS1MHET/
i have servers in my rack that weigh more than 150lb.
My startech 25u rack supports 1200lb.... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O6GNLQE
if you can, figure out the depth for them and make things to bolt them together at a few points (top, 1/3rd of the way, 1/3rd of the way, bottom for example) and they'll probably work well.
This is a good option if you don't mind it being open (No sides, doors etc)
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Open-Frame-Server-Rack/dp/B00O6GNLQE
Its adjustable, and they often accidently ship an entire pallet
Awesome job!! Don't know what's left in the budget but all you need is 2 pull down tv type mounts to finish it off and save your neck for the TV's above the monitors.
Thank you!
Sure, I'll link you the product on amazon (italian one, sorry).

It's the best and cheapest solution I could find around, very clean and functional.
Be warned, extension cords are not rated to be hidden in walls. There are some kits like this one that are though.
So, as you can see the fireplace mantle is rather tall, so the TV is going to be placed uncomfortably high.
In addition, there is board and Batton trim, that we would prefer not to damage.
Is anyone aware of a TV mount that we could install without damaging the trim?
Also, does anyone have experience with mounts like this? It seems like a novel idea, but I could imagine it not looking great in person.
Thank you and Yes using these mounts off of Amazon.

If you do this, please do NOT run the power cord for the TV through the wall. They have cable management kits from Amazon/Home Depot for ~$50 that will do what you are wanting and they'll be code-compliant and not pose a fire hazard.
The last thing you'd want is that PS5 to burn in a house fire.
I do recognize that this is quite rare, but it does happen.
