I don’t think I have anything that plugs into my TV via HDMI that’s more than 3’ from it

Interesting.
Probably regional differences. I think mounting TVs on walls is super common around here… and I live in an area of the US with insanely cheap large houses (which is basically all we have going for us here), so it’s pretty common for AV components to be on a shelf or something quite far from the TV.
Well to continue the theme, last time I discussed mounting a TV on the wall with my wife, she said ‘I don’t want to feel like I’m in the front row seats at the cinema’. She has a point - I think people have TVs way to high for the size of the rooms in this country.

While something inside of me acknowledges the accuracy of this statement, my anger at this 3’ HDMI cable is drowning it out.
I’ll swap you for the 2m one I just ordered

Since this has become a matter of practical debate, I only need 2 kinds of HDMI cables in my house. Roughly 18" / 0.5 meter when I’ve got a stack of A/V equipment and need to connect, say, a bluray to the receiver. Here a 3’ creates unnecessary clutter. And 6-10’ (2-3m) when running a source to a display.
Here I’ve got a computer monitor and a laptop dock that are about 4’ apart as the cable runs.
3’ is generally the anti-goldilocks. It’s the lukewarm HDMI cable of Revelation 3.

I was going to say “send me your shipping address!” Ha.
I’m all set with a 6’ DVI I found under my bed.

As a person who has just upgraded their churches AV/PA system and said church is doing a series on Revelation this was far too funny to me.
