HDMI Cables and other cables

[caliviper]

Guys,

I am installing a projector which will be about 15 feet away from where the AV Receiver is. When you factor in running the cabling up the wall and over to the projector, it's probably more like 25 feet away.

What kind of HDMI cable is best for such a long distance? I want the very best since I only need to run one cable to the projector.

Also, any of you guys know of the best deal to conceal a projector in the ceiling and have it drop down when needed?

By the way, with HDMI, since it's digital, is it really necessary to get super high end cables? As long as the 0's and 1's get from point A to point B, shouldnt that be enough? Isn't that the purpose of digital over analog?

Please let me know if I am wrong.

Thanks

you are correct about the 0's and 1's.

I prefer to use www.bluejeanscable.com HDMI cables myself, I like the feeling of security of having ultra thick HDMI cables ... I used the BJC series 2 cables. BJC says their cables are certified to send 1080p over 40-50ft.

I am no cable expert, but I recently order a variety of cables from Parts-express.com and was pleased with price/service/quality. 6.6 ft HDMI for $6.88 {got several} and got 6 3ft optical cables {w S video, which i ripped off} for 88 cents each!! I needed cables to add my HDMI switch and my a/v switch for the optical, got err done for fairly cheap, plus have some extra "in stock" for my wire inventory.
