Topic: DVI cable length

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is anyone using a DVI cable out from a video card to a projector?????

I want to run a DVI out of my NVIDA 8800 card to a DVI input on my NEC 1065. I would like my cable length to be minimum 40ft. I will be projecting the image on a 10' x 10' screen

I keep reading about quality loss after 15'. Is anyone using a long DVI without a repeater or booster without quality loss, or should I look into a DVI fiber optic cable option

Thanks

I have a highend cable that is 100" DVI: I dont have any issues. Just make sure you buy a nice shieled cable. You will pay around 80 bucks for a cable this length. I also have the same setup running at 2 other clubs, with no problems.
 
I use a 50' cable without any issues. Good quality ones can be found at Tigerdirect.com
