Monitor cables really should not be longer than about 10 feet, you know, or
they begin to degrade the video signal to the monitor due to stray
interference.

Even at 10 feet, it can matter... depends on refresh and
resolution.

The specialty cable shop I used to get all my cables from would always ask
"do you want a good one or a cheap one?"

They made 75 foot video cables, and longer, for trade show exibits that
gave very good quality video, but they were not the cheap ones.
