I am running a small lcd tv into my theatre bathroom to play parallel wtih the projector. I had to run 35' of hdmi so I chose a heavy cable. THe problem is that the 20" lcd is on a moving arm and the hdmi cable is so heavy I can barely plug into the tv at an angle no less move the tv to accomadate viewing from the tub. What can I do? Is there a cable that I could connect to the hdmi that would be light and easy to move around? Im not too concerned with great HD since it is a 20" screen.
thanx

Not sure I completely understand, but here's a couple of products that might help:

Or fasten the cable to the moving arm with a zip tie so the weight of the cable is carried by the arm and not by the TV.
