Hi there, sometime ago I enquired about hdmi cable, but never got around buying it. The moment has come now, but I have realized that the HDMI port on my laptop and on the TV are the same, in that it looks like I need a hdmi cable with 2 female connectors...is it possible? I thought - without knowing much about them - that HDMI cables have to have 2 different connectors, male and female...so are the hdmi cables all the same?
thanks

Jump to PostYou can buy an adapter to change from male/female at the end of the cable.
Jump to PostHmm. Maybe we have our male/female terminology confused. Generally, the Tv and laptop will both have female connectors and the typical hdmi cable is male on both ends. Either way, these cables can be bought with different ends or connectors to switch from male/female. Have you looked online or gone …
Jump to Postyou just need a standard HDMI cable (any one). the connector pictured is female even though it has the pins - the other side is male because it contains the outer part that sticks out
