Ordering from monoprice this evening and see that the 10ft 24g hdmi is out. Is there a big difference between 24g and 26g, running dvd player to TV in wall, Thanks for any help

The mono 24g is a very stiff cable. If you need a significant bend then consider another type.

Thanks, I think I will order the 26g. Also, my power cord is only 6ft, if I order a longer length power cord, Is it against code if I conceal it in the wall, run it down, then back out of the wall into the outlet

Temporary (pluggable) power cords typically should not be concealed. Also, all concealed wire needs to be rated CL2 or better (should be clearly legible on the cable). The specifics of code in your locale can be found by just calling your local building department. They are usually quite willing to answer such questions (at least around here).

I ordered a HDMI cable from BlueJeans rather than Monoprice; it was only slightly more expensive, and it had the benefit of being in stock :-)

Thanks for your help. I did think the power cord was not up to code, just checking. All of my other cables and wires are up to code and rated for in wall installation. I was trying to avoid adding a outlet. The TV is corner mounted about and the bottom of the TV is 5 feet from the ground and the top is about a foot from the ceiling. Not my ideal situation, but it's not the main TV and it passes fiances approval after I hide the wires(all of em)

The six-foot 28ga DVI>HDMI cable I got from Monoprice seems to work just fine, FWIW.
