you've been given some good advice already. and the shorter the cable you use, the better the signal. but additionally, if you need to use a cable more than about 10 FT in length, I recommend that you shop specifically for an active HDMI cable.


as an example, I use the Monoprice High Speed HDMI Cable - 30 Feet. they have circuitry inside them that boosts the signal at the display end.
