How much would a cheap 10 metre av cable degrade picture quality?

I want to run a second set of cables (composite) from my 360 to my room so that i can play at night (hell yeahs!) I have a 51cm tube in my room and I'm definetely not gonna be fussy about the quality. But i am curious about just how much the signal will degrade.

Thanks heaps.

Pretty substantially, its all about the quality of the material used, but yeah its gonna look horrible, you will see ghosting and it will defo annoy you - I know from experience.

Buy a good cable that is thick and shielded pretty well and you can't go wrong, dont go cheap, its not worth it.

ps. you do care about quality otherwise you wouldn't of asked :P!!

... also your using the worst/poorest video connection on the 360, its not even S-VIDEO!!, so make sure you invest in a good cable!

hmmmm. Well, it sounds bad. I only have very limited money.... What kind of difference would a 7.5 or a 5 metre cable make?

This is only so i can play online at night, etc.

One last thing... Does anyone have an example of what a degraded signal looks like? I have actually never seen one ^_^

Thanks heaps.

umm yo..don't even worry man...there won't be any degradation...maybe a little but nothing huge...DONT buy the MOST expensive cable but don't buy the cheapest...you don't need the best cause it's just a tube TV...you'll be fine..just don't connect multiple cables together just get a long one..Japkila

Agreed, defo dont buy cheapest as I have already stated, at the same time people shouldn't be fooled into paying somehing like £40 for a 10M run... its about making sure you pay a good reasonable price... you will know this when you see how thick the cable is.... and as Japkila said dont use couplers!! eg buying 2x 5M runs to make a total of 10M and then some cheap connector, that will give you ghosting as well.... you want a pure run.
