Product Description

Port Savers are the perfect solution for relieving wear and tear on your equipments HDMI ports due to constant plugging and unplugging or when heavy HDMI cables put extra strain on the connectors. If you were to say that the flat side of the connector were the top and the bevelled side were the bottom, this connector would point to the left when connected into a horizontally mounted HDMI port. If your port is vertically mounted and the flat side is on the left, it would point downward. If the flat side were on the right, it would point upward. Dimensions: 1 5/8" x 1 3/16" x 1/2"

This is a handy, and well priced HDMI elbow. It has a solid build, and didn't alter my video picture. Advice: Make sure you look at the direction of the bend in the elbow, and determine if this bends the right direction for you. They make ones that bend both left and right.
Caveat: The elbow will stick out from the device it's attached to a bit (All adapters will, not just this one). So make sure this isn't an issue before buying it. If it is, your only possible solution will be to buy an HDMI cable they has a built in elbow to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A right angle HDMI adapter 'keyed' the proper way., December 17, 2010

It seems 75-90% of the right angle HDMI adapters are 'keyed' the wrong way. Facing down, not up, right or left. Most HDMI ports have the narrow side of the connector itself facing down, with the wider side facing up. These adapters are designed wrong forcing you to insert the adapter so it faces down against the shelf the equipment is sitting on making it impossible to connect a cable unless you push the equipment back so the rear panel hangs over the edge.

Look closely at the photo and you should see what I mean. Then look closely at your equipment and confirm the the female jack is facing narrow side down. if it is (and probably is) this will work.

On the down side, it does stick out further than I would of liked with what appears to be needless 'bulk' to the molded enclosure.

I use it to connect my laptop to a TV at 1080P resolution and it works well. You need be sure you want a 90 degree to the front of your laptop (it's called 270 degrees) or 90 degree to the back of your laptop.
