Hi there guys. Some days ago I bought one of those HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptors so I could display my computer on my HDTV! It works very good. I also use my computer DVI port to connect my PC Monitor.

Well, the problem is that every time I want to swap such DVI cables, I must to turn off my computer, then bring it to the front, and plug in the other DVI cable u.u This is kind of annoying, so I want to buy a DVI extension cable to avoid turning off my PC and bringing it to the front every time I want to display my PC on the other screen :wahoo:

I was wondering, If I buy one of those DVI Extension cables, let's say a short one (some 2ft), Will I have problems when displaying my PC to my HDTV? Since I connect my computer to my HDTV through the HDMI-F to DVI-M Video Adaptor, then the HDMI cable, then the DVI Extension cable I want to buy, Will I have noise or something like that? What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance :bounce:
