Panasonic introduces HDMI cables with swiveling heads
Alright, so you're stocked up on locking HDMI cables, but what are you to do about those real tight situations where a traditional HDMI cable end simply sticks out too far? Panasonic to the rescue. As the pre-IFA news continues to trickle out, Panny has introduced a new HDMI cable with a swiveling head, one that can point up or down in order to work nicely in wall-mounted TV applications and the like. We are told to expect a 1.5- and 3-meter version this September, although pricing has yet to be revealed.

Panny could have avoided this by having their inputs vertical instead of sticking out from the back. Anyhow, a cheaper solution:
Monoprice 90degree HDMI adapter

That's what I'm talking about. Monoprice FTW. The more people learn about this site, the faster we get rid of fraudsters like Monster Cable and the numerous other companies ripping people off with $34-100+ HDMI cables that Monoprice sells for $3.

That is a great little invention right there. I work for a Cable Company and sometime getting HDMI and other wires plugged in to a mounted TV can be a major issue. Some brands make there input panels a little easier than others, yet some are just awful. Just another reason to love Panasonic!!

sometimes a 90 angle is too tight also. Monoprice not FTW.
And panny doesn't get it either because the cable will probably be $50
