Will be upgrading to a bigger tv soon and will be mounting it to the wall. Any recommendation on an in wall power kit? I will need two plugs up top (tv and sound bar). I've found Powerbridge and Legrand/Wiremold options on Amazon. Also saw one called Wall Blade by Sewell.

Any recommendations on brand or best place to order it? I want to make sure I can run at least three HDMI cables. Which is easiest to install? Any installation tips for those that have used one?

Thanks.

I have used two different ones. The Arlington TVBR2505K is better than the other one (I think it was a Datacomm). The Arlington is nicely made and I like how it handles all the other cables. You need to supply the AC wiring between the top and bottom plates.

Tips? Buy longer HDMI than you think. Might consider running an optical cable too if you will ever run audio from the TV to a receiver. You can pull all the wires at once if you stagger them so the connectors aren't bunched up. Tape them with electrical tape to create as smooth/slippery package as possible. It is highly likely you will have to cross existing AC wiring. Hopefully you do not have blocking in the framing. Run the cables before you install the wall plates so you have the maximum size opening to work with.

(I cannot imagine how the Powerbridge units are worth $90)
