Length of HDMI Cable...?!?

[rana_kirti]

Hi frens,

I'm installing my Projector to DVD Player. I have 2 options....

A. Keep DVD Player at center console below the center speaker.

Hdmi Cable length required to Projector = 15 meters ( 50 feet )

B. Keep DVD player on the left side of Viewing seat.

Hdmi Cable length required to Projector = 5 meters. ( 16 feet )

1. Which length should i go for ?

2. Does the length matter as far as signal/picture quality is concerned ?

3. If i go for longer cable is it better to go for 24 AWG or 28 AWG ?

Thanks

I don't know about the new version 1.4 HDMIs, but I do know the 1.3 HDMIs could suffer from a drop in spec as the lengths increased.

Its possible to buy a 15m cable certified to deliver 1080p/Full HD over a 15m run, but I'd go for option 2, as it's always best to keep all cable runs as short as possible.
