Good Monitor Extention Cables?

[aphex]

I picked up two 6' Belkin VGA/SVGA cables from Bestbuy for $9.99 each, but to be honest it dosent look good.... The picture looks like crap, and i can see ghosting and blurryness.

Any good cables at a good price?

I have used extension cables and since I have a 4 port KVM switch box I have experienced the same ghosting problem as you, if I use inferior cables. I am in UK so I haven't used any of the cables woodie1 mentioned, but I can say that high quality cables are definately available and usually cost twice as much. Best to go for the best you can afford.

What resolution are you running? - the higher the resolution the greater the effect on quality if you add an extension cable.

Out of interest, why do you need an extension cable (I guess so that your CPU will reach your monitor ;-) but why)?

I use a 6-foot extension cable and it looks no different than without the cable - but! It is a digital extension cable because I use the digital output from my Radeon to my LCD. The digital looks great - the analog is OK, but not as sharp.

I have tried using extension cables, and I end up with blurriness and ghosting on everyone I have tried.

Bump for ya, Aphex, 'cause I need some as well... 🙂
