I have a 50ft (supposedly high quality, 24AWG, triple shielded--whatever that means) DVI-D cable which weaves through walls, across other various power/computer/audio cables, through the attic, and into a kitchen. It's quite a journey. The highest resolution I can see on my LCD Monitor in the kitchen is 1024x768, and even then, there are occasional sparkles. I realize that DVI cables are not intended for these lengths, but don't really have any other choice. I bought a Gefen DVI Booster, which doesn't help. Would it help to attempt to shield the cable by keeping it away from other power/etc. cables. Or maybe wrapping foil or cloth, or something around it?
