    VGA extension cable

    I just bought this 10ft VGA cable to extend it to the screen....

    http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...4&loc=101&sp=1

    I thought Belkim was a good brand and all and I thought it was a quality item but it appears it isn't as good as I expected. There is some ghosting when the cable is used. It isn't THAT BAD but it is definitely noticeable, a little fuzzy.

    I was wondering if this the best you can get if you ever use a VGA extension cable or there is better w/o spending an arm and a leg?

    Thanks!

    Btw, I am using this on a 15" LCD... will try it on a 7" later. Will the size of the screen make a difference? The cable specs said it was good for up to 17". Does CRT or LCD make a difference as well?

    for the best quality, and for longer runs you want one with 5 coax lines inside the cable....(mini hi-res RGBHV or Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal and Vertical Sync) those are the signals that feeds a monitor....

    here is one on ebay now:
