Post HDMI cables
Why do monoprice HDMI cables come with those damn Ferrite Cores?!? I need some that will bend ok so they will fit in between the wall and TV. Damn cores get in the way.

Btw, 28 gauge is smaller then 22 gauge right?

If anybody knows of some good HDMI cables, post NOW!

when I was at Fry's this weekend they had decent prices on some hdmi cable's with a 90 degree angle which I thought was pretty cool.

I know it's an old post . . .

Yeah those angled HDMI cables are cool, and what I wanted to get when I wall mounted my tv. But the HDMI slots on the TV are lined up one on top of the other. So it wouldn't work. :(

When I wallmounted mine I went to Lowe's and got a couple low voltage old work boxes

I was lucky enough to have a closet behind mine and ran the cable outlet and power outlet in the closet (they were in line with where the TV was so I added another run to the power and just moved the cable outlet up higher)

You mean running the wires through wall? Yeah, I just made to holes when I made the wall(it used to be a doorway). I wanted those hdmi cables so I could get a thinner mount. But those cables wouldn't work because of how the outlets on the tv are placed.
