Just wait until you try to hook up a HDMI switcher and hold everything together. It's a terrible connector design, just as bad as USB.

With heavy Monster type HDMI cable, the weight will try to pull out a vertical connector, as found on the back of my Sharp LCD.

Solution? I've used duct tape, well black gaffer tape, actually.

Wanted something that I could disconnect easily, tried using sticky female Velco on the cable and next to the connector with a removable flap of male Velco between. Also looked at screwing a tywrap ned to the connector, making a loop with it, then using a second tywrap to secure the cable to the loop. Both work, but the gaffer tape seems more secure.
