4. the little screws were a great idea... but I think with home entertainment items, they get moved around more (in my experience anyway)when I've moved my tv cabinet and caught my SCART lead I've just pulled it out of the socket.. if it was screwed in, then I would be facing a cracked LCD panel! not happy days
3. Whatever happened to the idea of having screws built into the cables as VGA does?
All of the ports on my TV have to be plugged into vertically, and the SCART is forever slipping out, never mind anything else, so I don't think SCART is perfect either!
2. Interesting comments. While HDMI is not a captive connection like a F-connector or BNC connector, there are a few things you can do to improve your situation. Don't an expensive heavily molded/weighted cable. The big expensive cables give you no better performace and just add to the weight of the cables hanging off your components. Here is one I have had a great deal fo success with: http://www.showmecables.com/HDMI-Cables They have low-profile hoods, v1.3 rated, gold palted and very inexpensive.
1. I have HDMI between my Samsung LCD and my PS3... no problems whatsoever? no pulling away from sockets and I do move my tv around a lot on the work surface I currently have it on.... what are you doing with your HDMI cables!!! be nice to them they are our friends
