Good spec HDMI flat or bends easy

[FuzzyReets]

Hi folks. I have very little room behind my TV where the HDMI cable plugs in. I have to bend the cable a lot to get it to fit right so I want to replace it with a flat one or one that bends well but I've been told the flat ones aren't as good. Can anyone recommend a cable that will work well for this? Need 15 feet. I do not want to use a right angle adapter. Thanks.

Bluejeans has a 28AWG Tartan cable that they say is very flexible and they come in up to 15ft lengths at great prices. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/hdmi-cable.htm Another option would be a short piece that allows you to not have to bend the primary cable so much. I ordered two wall mounts from Parts express and they included a 1m or .5m cable for this purpose with the mounts.

Are these Tartan cables high speed?

One of the most interesting, and effective, marketing campaigns to "up-sell" consumers to expensive HDMI cables in recent times has been the effort to market different grades of HDMI cable quality as having been "speed-rated" for different HDMI resolutions. We can tell that this sales pitch has been pretty effective, because we get asked all the time whether our cables are "speed-rated."

You might want to consider a right-angle HDMI adapter instead. They're readily available from many sources.

 

[Hi Ho]

What's wrong with a right angle adapter? I have several of these port savers from Monoprice:

They are super flexible and keep the stress off the back of my TV from my thick 25ft Monoprice HDMI. I also use them with a 35ft cable on my projector. I have no problem getting 1080p/60 through 60 feet of HDMI cable with port savers on each end and a coupler between the two cables. 24p would be even less strenuous on the cables.
