If so how are they compared to regular ones. i know there is a cause for concern when they get like 16+feet because of signal degradation, but what about like 12 or 14 feet or so? Im thinking of moving my computer, but i'd need longer cables than the ones that came with my monitors. Also if you do have them an suggestions or what are you using?

We use one at church that's like 20 ft long, we don't see any real issues on a 1080p projector. (Even with videos) [DVI Cable]

I don't see why there would be any issues under 30ft.

Since HDMI is digital the normal gradual distance dropoff common with analog cables doesn't apply to HDMI. HDMI either works or it doesn't. For any cable design there is a length where HDMI will begin to fail (speckles, line drops) and then fail totally at some small increase in length. If a cable works (with the exception noted) you won't get degradation of sound or video at long vs short lengths.

Various test have shown you are safe up to about 30' with 'normal' quality HDMI cables.

Top end cables (without some form of electronic boost) can be used out to about 45-50 ft for 1080p video and multichannel high bitrate sound.

or maybe a dvi to hdmi connector (that way you keep away from signal degradation all together)

 

I have never used these; but here is a link that might be something else for you to consider.  HDMI is pretty much the best connector you can buy.

I use 3m (10ft) DVI cables. I don't see any form of failure at all despite using 144hz.
