The friction connectors on HDMI cables are surely stronger than small magnets that surround them, and the LED is pretty pointless. The Macbook connectors are shallow and actually disconnect if you yank on them. If the magnets weren't there, the plug would just fall out. With HDMI, the plug is square. If you tried to knock it out of its socket by yanking on it, it would damage either the plug or the jack. Stupid idea overall.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
