I need an HDMI cable that is 40 feet long.
Any suggestions on what brands will give me a quality cable that supports 1080p/1080i and 720p at that length.
I have looked at Ram Electronics HDMI cables (Standard HDMI-40 and Amplified HDMI-AMP-12M) and they seem good but a little pricey. I also looked at Monoprice's HDMI Cables ID# 2678 which are cheaper but I am not sure if they will support 1080p at that length even though the specs it says it will.
Any suggestions?
My setup has my equipment in a cabinet that is across the room from my 50" plasma
I currently have component cables that connect my HD box and DVD player to my Plasma TV.
I am thinking of getting either an Upconvert DVD or HD DVD player and as far as I can tell the only way to get the 720p/1080i or 1080/p is with the HDMI cables.
The component outputs on the Upconvert DVD players will only output 480p. I think the HD DVD players output up to 1080i on the components, but the Upconvert DVD players do not. Is this correct?
The other problem I have is that I prefer a changer than a single disc player and they are not available in HD DVD yet. The Upconvert DVD players do come in a changer version but you need an HDMI connection to take advantage of the higher resolutions.
Both types of DVD players do not satisfy all my needs, but if I use an HDMI cable I will have greater potential down the road.
All I need is to get the right HDMI cable that supports 720p/1080i and 1080p at a 40' length.
