Hdmi from computer, to receiver, then to projector.

[jasonl34]

That is basically what i want to do. Currently my computer is next to my stand that holds my receiver.

I want to move it to another area so i can have it on my desk ect. I measured the distance id have to go and id need about a 35 ft hdmi cable to run it through the floor and back to my Yamaha receiver. I then already have the hdmi that goes to the projector.

I was trying to find one locally but i doubt ill be able to..walmart sells a 50ft which is a lot more than i need. I can order online but theres so many to choose from online i dont even know which i actually need.

Any help would be great.

Doesn't matter. Just don't get the cheapest one. 35ft is about 10m and 50 is about 15m. Both should be pretty standard.

Go to monoprice and pick up what you need there. Good quality cables for cheap.

Here's a 35 ft HDMI, for example:

They have several other 35 ft options.

Oh ok. I wasnt sure if already having one going from the receiver to the projector thats 30 ft would affect this one but its good to know it doesnt.

Im looking at monoprice now. Theres a few...
Theres a generic with redmere, regular ones called redmere, and luxe that i can see.

I do want to make sure it can transmit 1080p at minimal cost. I noticed some only can do 1080i.

 

[jasonl34]

That one you linked, it says it does 720p/1080i.....even though it says that have people used it and noticed it passes 1080p just fine?

 

[rwpritchett]

I can't imagine an HDMI cable available today that can't handle 1080p. If you want to be safe, maybe go for one of the redmere 1080p cables for a little more $$$. The only downside to redmere is the ends are different for input-output so you must pay attention.

The Redmere cables use chips to increase transmission distance over smaller gauge wiring. I would steer clear of those unless you fit the niche they fill. The cable linked to is pretty nice, and if the picture is accurate, 22 AWG. Very good price for such a good cable, but be aware, it's going to be thick and a lot more inflexible than your average ordinary HDMI cable. For long runs however, having enough copper in the transmission lines is important. Too small a gauge and you'll get snow or complete signal drop-out at the receiving end. Also, make sure you don't run the cable past high sources of electrical noise.

I would go for the Redmere cables. It won't change the quality of the picture but is more likely to work properly without handshake problems.

I ended up ordering

It seems like its a quality cable and I also noticed it went on sale today.
