The Dude Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I will be running a dvi to hdmi cable from my comp to my TV, It will be about 20'. Monoprice offers a couple seems to be once you get into longer runs they only over thicker cables. I have the option to get 25' of either 26 or 24 gauge. Will I notice a difference in either one. I know its only 4-5 dollars difference but the way I see it there is no reason to spend money if I don't need to, but if I do then I will. Thanks Nick Dillon's Rainy day Women just started playing some I going to crank it up and chill for a min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Same about optic toslink, there is 6 mm and 8 mm any difference in sound quality. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The 8mm is much more durable. Sounds is probably the same now, but the 8 will live much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I think that would be the same between the 26awg and the 24 awg. Spend the extra couple of dollars and be happier. thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
