I was looking at an extension cable for my monitor (link) and I heard that it degrades the video quality. Does anyone know about this?

I have a 10' (3.3 meter) extension cable added to the already existing 6' (2 meter) cable for my Cornerstone monitor that is generic but very thick and it works a peach even at 1600x1200
Not bad for $15
Rags is correct, any analog cable does degrade the signal quality, especially at very high resolutions.

I would be suspicious of the quality of that cable.... you really need one of at least this quality...
Belkin Pro Series High Integrity VGA/SVGA Monitor Extension Cable
I did a search on the site you have listed above and they don't appear to carry this one."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

I've noticed that running through a KVM switch can hurt quality as well.. usually the result is ghosting of some sort. I am using a Belkin OmniView SE 4 port KVM switch, but for now only for the mouse and keyboard, since I'm using the second input on my Sony monitor for the video from the second computer. If I go beyond two machines, though, I'll be in trouble.
