Will DVI-I to HDMI Cable 50 FT work?

May 11, 2009 by Kicker32 | Posted in TVs

I asked question about DVI-I to HDMI Cable 50 FT, (computer to tv). They said i needed a box to have more power because the wire is too long. Is it true? Or it will work good? tks

TV Guy is correct. 50ft is a stretch for a standard HDMI cable. You could use a repeater like this one

Or you could use an HDMI over cat5 device like

Lack wall mounted home Theater

I used the Lack long and medium shelves to build the frame, and the Lack side table to do the entertainment center. The wires go into the wall behind the TV and come out on the OTHER SIDE in my bedroom near the baseboards, travel to the far wall, then return behind the bikes, and run below the heaters all the way to the entertainment center. (A little less than 50ft of cable for each device.) I should be clear that I think that any Ikea furniture in the Table/Shelf arena needs a fresh coat of paint. Ikea's veneer will bubble quickly if you put something hot on it, or will scratch easily and look unsightly. I put a polyurethane coat of black, high-gloss enamel. (Took 30 minutes once I laid down a tarp. This coat makes it shiny, looks nicer than the stock paint, and protects it incredibly well from just about everything. To do the entertainment center, use L-brackets attached to the legs, measured for the height of each component and screw them into place. You will likely find that your conmponents aren't long enough to use the same technique for the back, so instead hang a heave copper or metal tape from the middle of the table on the sides, then drill holes and run a metal or wooden dowel across, supporting the back end. Here is a list of other things that I used from Amazon.com. Template by Andreas Viklund | Updated by Serenden Studios | IKEA is a registered trademark of Inter-IKEA Systems B.V.
