How would you run this signal?
« on: 25 Apr 2006, 01:18 pm »
I need to get a signal from my DVD/Computer to my Projector which sits on opposite side of my loft.  The loft is only framed in so I can easily run cables in the walls.  The shortest path from my DVD player location to the PJ is about 60-70 feet.  I am using an Infocus X1 and will probably upgrade in the future to something a little brighter.  I am clueless about what cable to ask my electrician to run?  Component? I am not a videophile so I simply need to get a good signal from point A to B.  What would you recommend for a budget of around $200-$300.  I need this cable to be compatable with future low budget HT projectors.  WIll Component always be used?  

Thank you for help

Run component and HDMI at a minimum.

You can buy excellent cables at www.bluejeanscable.com

I like BJC, but it's good to constantly check all three of places against each other for the best deals.

Will wireless video be in the near future?

Thanks for the links.  I'll grab the bulk component and hdmi from one of the mentioned vendors.
