HDMI Cable how longs too long?

[WARburton]

Just because you can buy a cable doesn’t mean it’s good…
I want to use my pc on my 4k tv to play games like fifa and Battlefield.

Is running a 10m cable going to give me any problems?
Screen is 4k at 60hz 1ms

Ten meters might be an issue without a signal booster depending on the cable, you should be fine with a modern fibre optic HDMI lead though.

I use HDMI over Ethernet, with super thin Ethernet cables that can be passed between doors and doorframes. You need a box for that though, I paid around 150 quid but I wanted USB as well so I could plug in game controllers in the front room when gaming on my 4K LD OLED.

i only need hdmi as the pc is in the same room and i will game with a controller

EDIT: lol ill not be pays £60 for a cable, i would rather just move the pc to other side of the room

I've used 10m even 15 metre cable before to go from amp along room and up wall to projector. It will be fine.

I've heard of issues anything above 8m region at 4k quality.

Active HDMI or Balun (Ethernet converter) is generally the word if you want stable 4k, but maybe you'll be lucky with a regular 10m!

You can get 10m fibre optic cables for £10-30, the rainforest have their own brand version even.

Fibre optic cables work fine. I have one .

ETA why object to spending money on a cable? Your monitor and PC are expensive so don't skimp.

60Hz should be ok I have run into issues at 4K 120Hz over 8m.

I've had hit and miss results with 10m HDMI and DisplayPort cables at work. Some devices are fine, others just don't like it
