Hi all,

I recently changed plasma TV's to a model that is quite a bit thinner than my old one. As a result, it looks like I either need to get a different wall mount, or use 90 degree adaptors for my cables. The latter seems easier and is preferable to me.

Will these all work? The HDMI in particular seems exactly what I need. For the RCA, any concern of video quality loss?

Looks like I would probably also need a Toslink adaptor:

If Monoprice carries the RCA adaptors, I can't find them. I wish they did since it would save me a bit on shipping, but not a huge deal.

Anyone else using these kinds of things? Are they fairly tight so the cables don't fall out when the TV is on the wall?
