50ft HDMI - Full HD?

[IamDavid]

I've been waiing for the Redmere cables to be released o Monoprice but I'm thinking I'll be driving my flying car before II see them. 🙂 Are current HDMI cables able to handle 50ft without issues?

Thanks

pretty sure you have to do hdmi over Ethernet for that.

HERE is a good write up on HDMI cable length.

I know one of my friends uses a 50ft one he got for i think $20-$30 and he says it is working great. He does 1080p from his computer to his TV.

My friend bought a nicer cable from blue jean cable and had no problems at 50 feet. With a cheaper monoprice one it wouldn't sync a lot of the times.

^ ++, i have a 50ft cable from blue jean cables working fine on my parent's 1080p projector.

I just bought a 50ft braided cable from Amazon for ~25. Works perfectly from AMD 5870 - Optoma HD66

Pair of 100ft Monoprice cables working at 1080p here fine. I needed a balancer to make it work but otherwise has been stable since.

I have a 50 ft. from receiver to projector - works fine, I don't notice any loss of quality

... I also two more 50 ft. HDMIs to a LCD and a LED tv from other room direct tv boxes in the house (so I can watch multiple games at once)... I haven't noticed any loss of quality on these either.

As long as the HDMI cable is CL2 24AWG High-Speed HDMI Cable, you should be fine.
Worst case scenario, you need a HDMI Extender. But unlikely

Same here.

I recently bought an HDMI to Ethernet extender (cheapo 14 dollar one) and it works mainly...except when you turn certain lights off the HDMI handshake drops from my receiver, then comes back). Still, needed to do it for cable neatness per the lady 🙂

I have 50ft. in two spots in my house, both work great and honestly I do not notice any quality loss compared to a 6ft. cable.

1 - 50ft. goes from receiver to 1080p projector - I cannot see quality loss
1 - 50ft. goes from Direct TV box to a LEDtv - cannot see any quality loss even when compared side-by-side with a 6 foot cable on the same TV (I have two of the exact same TV)

You might be able to use a single 50ft cable, it all depends on the devices being connected. For a sure fire connection with all hardware purchase 2 -25ft cables and place an HDMI extender at the junction of the 2 cables.

I have generally found the extender doesn't need to be in the middle. 50ft <-> extender <-> 3 ft cable often works. Specifically the "stabilizers."
