grain affect on 2nd tv with hdmi ?

[Schizo]

hi all,i purchased a hdmi lead (10m) for my 32"lg tv to watch movies on via my pc.

i have a his radeon 5770 and when i connected the hdmi lead into my lg tv there is a grain affect on it ?

not sure what is causing this or if there is any setting im not using,picture is fine and audio but it's just this grain affect that is there on everything i put through the lg.

It's almost certainly the cable, over a distance like 10m you want one that's a little better than your standard £2 one.

Edit: Before anyone starts with digital signal blah blah, he is using it over a large distance which can adversely affect the image due to numerous factors.

Thanks for that link. They look like very decent cables for the price. I bought a very cheap 3m HDMI cable from the bay to link my pc to my tv but sometimes my tv does not recognise that my pc is connected until i reboot. I borrowed a better cable from a friend and it connects every time now.

ill look into getting a better cable now.

i did think it was to long but thought i would try it first.

i want to try the lead before i spend £20 and if it is the lead and not my card.
