[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 20665, member: 11681"] Its a bit like the old question - "how long is a piece of string?" The answer is - it depends.... :) The maximum length of the DVI cable depends on the quality of the DVI cable and the resolution size that you want to display. The higher the screen resolution, the greater the data rate required and thus a greater bandwidth is required. For example, I run my projector at 1280x720 and I use a top-quality cable that is 8 metres long. I cannot detect any difference in the image quality between that 8m cable and the projector's supplied 1.8m cable. However, if I increased the resolution (not applicable in my case, since the projector does not display a higher resolution), or increased the length, then I may begin to see a degradation in image quality (sharpness of the image). My advice is to keep the cable as short as possible, use the best quality (lowest capacitance) that you can get (and this does not mean the most expensive), and try it if possible before you commit yourself. Also, [url=http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html]have a read of this [/url]for some more info. Do you know what resolution you plan to use, and what the length is likely to be? [/QUOTE]
