There are some 227 people on amazon who claim the cable works over 25'
feet. The odds are he just got a bad one and just needs to replace it.

My guess is cable is too long to handle the bandwidth. From what I read it
gets very expensive to do> 15ft and still have a class 2.
Check out blue jeans cables, they have a great writeup on what& why.

Hey guys, so apparently things aren't as simple as I thought.
I have a pretty recent Acer laptop with an HDMI out.so I decided to connect
it to my Samsung DLP TV which has 3 HDMI inputs. I've done it before with
a
6' HDMI Amazon Basics cable and that worked fine but my laptop is a ways
away and I wanted a longer cable so I wouldn't have to move it if I wanted
to watch something on the TV, so I got 25' Bluerigger HDMI cable from
Amazon
which had great reviews (4.5 stars) and thought it would work fine.
Well as it turns out that didn't go so well; it auto-detected the TV at
1920x1080 resolution but it was all messed up and had white static over the
whole screen. So I stepped down and found out that it works at resolutions
of 1280x720 or lower (800x600 works too). So is this an issue with the
length of the cable run and needing amplification to be able to send the
signal properly over that distance? I thought I'd read that HDMI could go
up to 50' but apparently not!
Just wondering if anyone has run into this issue with HDMI and if I might
be
missing something obvious.thanks guys!
