Tony,
Standard vs. Mini.
HDMI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just took a look at my TV's and computers. All mine are "Standard" so that may be typical.

I've only ever seen the "normal" version
Its becoming irrelveant anyway - "displayport" is the way of the future.

Already outdated.
I did go for the ROKU though. Part wireless, a little box that talks to my wireless router, part HDMI cable. That's working out pretty well. May dump the "Premium" Cable Channels; HBO, Showtime, etc.....
Sony use the mini version to plug into some of their cameras whilst using the bigger one to connect to HDMI tvs. Decent ones can cost a fortune as well.

Bought a Bush flat screen LCD TV a while back to use as CCTV monitor,it came with a Scart to mini Scart adapter,the scart plug itself was a bad enough connector,the mini scart end went TU after being disconnected and plugged back in twice,finally managed to track one down on ebay tother day,think mini scart has been wisely discontinued now.

And even though you can pay squillions of pounds for "high quality" HDMI cables, most experts reckon that it makes very little difference.
It's a digital signal, so it either works.......or it doesn't.
