I've used 75' with no problem. Our church has two large flat panels on either side of the stage fed with 75' hdmi. No problems. I've used 40' several times and haven't gotten a complaint

They also had HDMI wall plate jacks at HD.. but I'm not sure what the specs are you need to run and how to avoid problems like Intercom wiring has with 120V cables closer than 12"..

I must be the only non fussy guy when it comes to watching tv. As long as i can see a picture im happy... 1080, 720 sure.... what ever it takes... LOL.. I remember fighting with my brother over what channel to watch on the rabbit ear tv.... later we would pull on the cord when we fought over what to watch to the cable channel changer for those of you that remember that beast of a "remote control"...

In your opinion it's idiotic religion bashing. In My opinion religion is idiotic. Both are opinions and both are right and wrong.
