Hello All,

Question. I need to purchase 50 foot HDMI and Component cables to connect to my new projector...which will more then likely be a ceiling mount.

I was looking on EBAY....has anyone purchased these 50' gold plated hdmi cables and all.... any recommendations?

After my ep600, projector, and various other toy purchase I have very little left for cables.

Dang, 50ft, are you sure about that, that is a long way, but I don't think you'll have any problem with signal loss? Anyway, if the Ebay seller is Monoprice, you will have no problems with their cables. I purchased my 25ft DVI/HDMI and 25ft Component cables from them for my Sanyo Z2 projector. You can go directly to http://www.monoprice.com as well.

Thanks SQ.
Thanks also for the projector recommendation.
I bought the Sanyo PLV-Z4 and projecting off of a wall painted beige. The thing is AWESOME...right out of the box. No Tweaking....

I will second Randy's suggestion of Monoprice. You cannot beat the price.

I went with Blue Jeans Cables, which I think everyone will say is good and somewhat economical, but that was back when people didn't have much experience with Monoprice.

I have a Z3 and love it, and with SQ's Z2, we have 3 generations of Sanyo fans here.

I have some Blue Jeans Cable cables as well. Nice sturdy wires for very reasonable prices. Custom made, too!

Another vote for Monoprice!

I've got both, Mono price without a doubt the more economical of the 2, Blue Jeans a better look and solid feel.

I use BlueJeans for everything and am very happy with the results. Good quality cable all around.

One suggestion though. 50 Feet? Really? It can be done according to specs but I would highly suggest reducing it if at all possible. HDMI is a fairly complex set of protocols / bit and bites etc. I believe that there are switches / boosters for that great of runs but I have no experience using them. Maybe some one around here can shed some light on runs that long?

I've never been let down by Blue Jeans cables. I've purchased speaker wire, stereo cables and an HDMI cable from them and have been very happy with my purchases.

I have used Blue Jeans cables and am very satisfied. I don't think that you would go wrong with either company.
