Hi guys, I need some HDMI cable recommendations for an in-ceiling installation in my Home Theater room. The length needs to be about 25 ~ 35 ft, but I'm probably going to get a 40 ft cable just to cater for some unexpected length additions.
I want a cable that's as future proof as possible, so that I don't have to replace the cable for at least for 4-6 years. So it should readily support things like 4K, 3D 4K, Ethernet channel, ARC, etc, even though I'm currently not using any of these technologies.
I found a few potential cables at Monoprice, but don't know which to get:
40ft 24AWG CL2 Standard HDMI® Cable With Ethernet - Black - Monoprice.com
40ft 22AWG CL2 Standard HDMI® Cable With Ethernet - Black - Monoprice.com
40ft High Speed HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology - Monoprice.com
40ft Slim Series CL2 High Speed HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology - Monoprice.com
Similar to the second product above, I bought a 22AWG 35ft HDMI Cable from Monoprice a few years ago. It still works fine, but sometimes when resolution/channel changes, the signal goes dead and starts transmitting static - I then have to trigger another resolution/channel change (e.g. switch AVR input) to get it back. I don't know if this is an isolated issue with the cable I have, or if its because of some other reason.
Also, will I need a signal booster ?
