Think much about HDMI? Some people think about it a lot. Enough to make this whacky little HDMI connector that lets you bend an HDMI connector for easy HDTV hookup.

Not only that, AVReview did a survey, asking about how many HDMI inputs would be needed on your next screen. The result puzzles me. If I were to use some kind of switching device to switch my HDMI devices, then all I would need is one HDMI input. But if I didn’t use such a switcher, then I’d want as many inputs as possible. There’s my SA8300HD PVR. My upcoming PS3. What if I bought an HD DVD player, and/or a dedicated BD player (there’s one already in the PS3)? That would be four HDMI inputs. Add another one, just in case, and that would be five. Why, then, did the poll result in a large vote for two HDMI inputs? The choices were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 inputs. I would have expected to see lots of votes for one and four, not two. But two got 51% percent of the vote.

Weird.

Am I missing something?
