Hello all,
Ok I have just receieved my new Sony VPL-HW40ES PJ - tried connecting it using a rather cheap generic 10m HDMI cable but couldn't get a signal. Swapping out the 10m one to a 5m alievated the problem, but the 5m is too short.
Plesae can people confirm what the best solution would be for this issue.
- Purchase a more expensive HDMI cable? Is it worth paying extra or will they all fail over 10 metres?
- HDMI Extenders/Amplifers? Which ones are best?
- Move to HDMI over Cat5 or Cat 6? (If this is best, are there any guides online for this, seems to be a lot of products but not a lot of information to read about)?
The result of moving to a bigger screen is amazing, however if I can't get the cable away from the centre of the lounge the other half will have a field day!
Cheers for the help all!
