I need to run hdmi cable in my basement about 40 ft long?
Sep 17, 2009 by HBK | Posted in Home Theater
Should I use one 50 ft cable or use a combination of a 15 ft cable and a 25 ft cable with a connector, which option will maintain the best quality?
You have not said what you are trying to run with a 50 foot cable, however, be advised that this is in excess or at the limit of what HDMI was designed to do. You should be considering the use of an HDMI repeater or some other similar solution to make

Samsung LN52A850 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
I purchased this television 6 months ago this month. For big purchases such as the LN52A850, I am hesitant to recommend a product of this price without living with it day to day for a considerable amount of time. As a lifelong Sony television loyalist, I was finally convinced to purchase a Samsung from all the incredible reviews and explosion in popularity that these sets have seen recently. If you want the meat-and-potatoes with all the ins and outs of this set, I would suggest you refer to the many other reviews that have covered the tech specs ad nauseum. br /br / Well, six months later let me start by just saying what a pleasure this TV has been. This particular model has an upgraded pixel at the sacrifice of lesser on board sound (Which is not an issue with me being as I have an audio system already. Also the fact that anyone who would like to go that route as well, the options and price points are getting cheaper by the day for surround sound options). With proper calibration, I challenge any television maker on the market to go side by side with this beauty. I’m sure hardcore enthusiasts can convince you there are better PQ sets out there. They are correct. I believe there are 2, yes TWO televisions available that can out perform this one, both of which are plasma based. One is the Kuro which will likely cost you at least double, if not triple, the price of the LN52A850. The other is the G and V series Panasonic plasmas. The Panny was VERY high on my list and is an unbelievable deal. I cant say enough about the Panasonic but, again it is a plasma set. Which brings me to my next point and I think this is information that EVERYONE should know: Plasma televisions WILL, even to this day, have IR or image retention problems. That is just the nature of the beast. Those black side and top bars on most movies and standard def TV shows present a particularly unavoidable problem. I chose LCD because I simply do not want to deal with IR on any level, regardless of how easily it ’supposedly’ goes away. I can see it now: I’m sitting down to watch the super bowl with a house full of guests when I forgot to run my IR wipe cycle after someone else in the house has the ‘LIFETIME: Television for Women’ logo or my favorite video games health bar IR’d over the score… IR is simply an issue that comes across as substandard quality for a perfectionist such as myself.br /br /If you have been researching for a perfect, maintenance free, workhorse of a television with picture quality that will absolutely and without a doubt blow you away every time you press the play button on your favorite blu-ray, DVR’d sporting event or show of choice, LOOK NO FARTHER. Consider yourself lucky that you found this exact model considering all the confusing product #s and the fact it seems to be pretty well hidden while searching amazon.br /-br /-br /-br /Samsung LN52A850 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color br /-br /-br /-br /THIS-IS-THE-HIGH-DEFINITION-TELEVISION-YOU-ARE-WANTING (period)br /br /On a side note: Feel completely at ease ordering a television from Amazon.com.

Otherwise, there's no Ethernet for a direct cable connection and no HDMI or VGA for video-streaming. Storage, on top of that, is not as spacious as netbooks
