recently bought a new 32" LCD and managed to get the display running perfectly in 1080p with a male-male VGA and the help of this thread
I then bought a 5m male-female VGA cable so I could extend it around my room to my desk and now its messing up. If I take the extension out of the equation, all works perfectly again, but when I put it back in it recognises my TV as the smaller of the 2 screens and limits it to 800x600 60hz. Seems obvious to me that the 5m cable is to blame but I don't understand why. Are there different quality VGA cables? Do I need to just get a single male-male cable that will reach the length of my room? Or is there some extra settings that I'm not aware of if im using multiple cables?
Thanks in advance
