HDMI cable with swivel head

Philip Wong | Jul 16, 2008

Before your start cursing away on that hard-to-reach HDMI port, try taking a closer look at Panasonic's new free-angle HDMI cable. This swivels up to 90 degrees two-way to allow a much tighter fit for squeezing out extra centimeters to earn you a theatrical 100-inch projection. Then there's the dreaded scenario of installing a new HDMI box to a cramped wall-mounted flat panel, too.

Two flavors are available: A 1.5m and a 3m-long model, both HDMI 1.3a certified for carrying bandwidth-intensive 1080p video and high-definition Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD surround sound. These are currently sold in Europe and we seriously doubt it will come to Asia in the coming months. That's unless there's strong demand in our region along the scale of truckloads per country--it's usual policy for A/V consumer electronics here. Singapore at least.
