I am trying to set up a home theater with the best possible video quality coming out of my InFocus LP640. I can get s-video to work just fine but want to use either the M1 or VGA inputs for a higher quality video. so far i can't get anything but a computer to work in these inputs.
My gear:
-InFocus LP640 projector ( http://www.aboutprojectors.com/InFocus-LP640-projector.html ) with:
1 x S-video input - 4 pin mini-DIN
1 x composite video input - RCA
1 x VGA input - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x VESA M1 - M1-DA
-Toshiba sd-3900 DVD player ( http://reviews.cnet.com/dvd-players/toshiba-sd3900/1707-6473_7-20847696.html )
with:
1X SPDIF output ( TOSLINK )
1X S-Video output ( RCA phono )
1X Component video output ( RCA phono x 3 )
1X SPDIF output ( 4 pin mini-DIN )

-I have many 6 foot DVI, VGA, component and composite RCA's, and s-video cables lying around but i need at least 25 feet to my control center.
whats the cheapest way to get HD signal to my projector? or should i just give up and buy a long s-video cable? will i see a big difference?
