For me when I send 1080p over 50ft it is not working well. There is flicker from apple TV, another media player intermittently goes blank and back again. Lowering to 1080i works. I did buy cheap cable from ebay. Now I have to do some research to see what is the max distance I can go. Somebody should do the bandwidth analysis and the ack analysis to see what is a good distance after which it degrades.

You have to consider the weakness of comparing an appletv device to a full system gaming rig. This may be more the signal source vs the cable's ability to transmit at that length with your given signal source if that makes sense. A gaming rig with a discreet graphics card powered by a 1200W PSU is a huge difference. Others may want to think about that when going for longer cables like I did. So you could get the same cable and maybe your device isn't pushing a signal strong enough through that distance so results will then vary.
Not to say you didn't actually get a lesser cable but I just thought of all of this after reading your post.
