<p>I'm looking for the best (price/quality) solution to send a digital or analog video signal to an lcd tv or beamer over 80 - 100 ft. The input can be hdmi, vga or dvi (all must be possible). The output (80 - 100 ft. away) doesn't need HD quality.</p>

<p>tv has hdmi, vga, dvi, s-video, composite and coax.</p>

<p>So far i've got this setup in mind for relative low cost and acceptable quality:</p>

<ul>
<li>80-100 ft. vga cable connected to tv (should cover inputs with vga or dvi)</li>
<li>vga switch 1-4 for switching between inputs</li>
<li>hdmi --> vga converter (to cover hdmi inputs)</li>
</ul>

<p>Does anyone know a better setup ?
is vga the best option in this case to bridge the 80-100 ft. ?</p>
