Hi guys.

Just wondering, what's the maximum length that a monitor cable can be run ( Monitor to PC ), before you start to see problems with the video/dispay performance?

Thanks for any replies.
 
somewhere around 15 feet there starts to be some dropoff of sharpness. Possibly less with higher resolutions.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.
 
I had a setup once that a 6' extension caused a "video ringing" (pale verticle line on screen). Monitor and extension worked OK on other set-ups. Just that particular combination.
