Hi bfalls,

I PM'ed you a couple of weeks back. Sorry you missed it. Chances are the cheap HDMI cables will be just fine in a fairly short run. One eager ebay merchant (Lenexpo, I think) has been offering inexpensive DVI and HDMI cables for a while. I've tried them at 3 to 6 ft. or so without incident. You don't have to pay Monster prices for solid performance (I'm not a Monster basher, but cables can be overengineered for particular uses).
