anyone use locking HDMI cables?
 
Like Accell? They don't look that expensive. ~$15.

I'm using the bluerigger $5 HDMI cable. It is ok, but it hangs down and out a bit (like most HDMI cables seem to) so it doesn't work well if you have to plug it in to a laptop to the TV, because a gentle tap or swing will cause signal loss.

I saw this info on locking HDMI cables and thought it was interesting.

Well, I got the Accell AVGrip Pro a couple weeks ago.

At first I was very disappointed that it still did hang down a bit when plugged in but the signal has been very stable and video quality is excellent. I even tested it by first tapping it a few times - no signal loss, then slapping and swinging the cable - no signal loss at all.

The connectors are plastic so it's like a slide clip when you pull it back to unlock and unplug.
