First day with the HDMI extender. I think it will take a bit of getting use to having the 8 inch cord dangling when walking back and forth from office to exam room, but I think certainly will work. The connection of the extender into the Chromebook HDMI port fits snugly and stays put quite nicely. I attached the 8 inch HDMI extender first thing this a.m. and left it in place and removed from the Chromebook after my last patient of the day. So just one in and out exchange will certainly save some wear and tear on the HDMI port of the Chromebook and want to give a shout out to Stephan on the twitter feed, who got me thinking in this direction.
Once I place the Chromebook on my computer stand in my exam room, it is easier to attach the end of the HDMI cord from the TV to the 8 inch extender. There is more room to work with and I can hold the extender in left hand and TV HDMI cord in right to make an easy connection.
