I have media PC's throught out my house all connected to one main storage PC. What I want to do is put a new pc in my closet and i think i would need a cable 75 to 100 feet long to run behind the wall to my mount LCD TV. the PC does not have an HDMI so i would just be using VGA? I think? So does anyone know if this would work? Would the quality be so bad it would be pointless? i seen a 100 foot VGA cable on Newegg for 30 bucks. is this what i would need?
hard to say, but this is what I found: VGA-Analogue is not going to have as long a range. Using high quality cables I would say that 10 meters would be the maximum for 1024x768@60Hz. There are VGA-Analogue repeater solutions as well that can also permit 10's and 100's of meters of signal--at lower resolutions--e.g. 800x600@60Hz. A lot of what I found depends on the resolution used. Everyone is telling me that you can go a greater distance at a lower resolution, but keep the cable shorter for high resolution. Hope this helps. It is all I could find. There doesn't seem to be a solid concrete answer available.
Well i def want to stay at high res, so the 10 meters will have to do, but what if i go with DVI? since its digital it shouldn't lose any quality...right? What are some of the lengths people have pushed it?
