Enter to Win: DVI/HDMI Cable from DVIGear!

[menardsguy]

I'd say the average is 1-2 meters.
I bet I could hit 15 with my future projector setup.

 

[Kruppy]

Can't see using more than 10m unless you have a McMansion.

A 10m cable would do me just fine.....

Contest Questions:
In your opinion, which of the above display cable lengths is the most used for the average home theater enthusiast?
What is the longest length display cable you expect that you’ll need in the future?


<10 meters is most used.

I expect to use ~10 meters when I get one.

 

[bwood]

average length: <10meters (most equipment next to display in average setup)
max length: ~10-15 meters if using a front projector

 

[mike c]

1) average users like me will only need <2meters
2) in the future, for a dedicated HT, maybe 50m or less

 

[owasse]

1. most used: 0.5 - 10 meters
2. up to 10 meters.

 

[adk highlander]

1. I would think the average user HDTV would be under 5 meters. Projector users will however need longer cables.
2. I need between 3 - 5 meter cables.

 

[evilkat]

1. Probably 0.5 - 10 meters (1.6 - 33 feet)

I think 10 feet is probably the sweet spot.

2. 15 ft.

 

[flip22]

1. I believe the average person would need 0.5 - 10 meters.
2. I might need 50' or more when I get a front projector system.

 

[AverageJoe]

1. I'd guess the average user would need less than 10m - probably under 10'.

2. I'm using a 35' component cable on my temporary projector setup, and will likely need about the same length (HDMI) in the permanent installation.

2 meter


2. What is the longest length display cable you expect that you’ll need in the future?

[Methodical]

1. average home: .5-10m
2. most I'd need: upto 10m

 

[mdarlon]

Most Used .5 to 10 meters (probably 5 meters or less)

The most I would use would probably be 12 feet or less. So far, any HT setup I've had suppliments the space of a living room rather than being the primary function of the space. Components are close to each other and the interconnects are shorter. I suspect the great majority of setups are like this.

 

[korgoth]

the most used is probobly around 3 meters

ill end up using one about 10 meters eventually

 

[Daz3d&Confus3d]

1. .5-10 meters
2. 7-8 meters

1. Assuming most people use televisions in their home theater setups, the longest that most should need is 5m. If they are using a projector, 10 to 15 meters would be nice.

2. I wouldn't need more than a 10 metre cable at most, as my basement is very small....
