How Long Can A HDMI 1.3 Cable Be, Before i start noticing Latency.

The issue isn't latency but signal degradation. There's a recent LTT video where he tested a crap load of HDMI cables, and basically, anything over 6ft, you need optical HDMI or you're going to have a bad time.

The video was about HDMI 2.1, that does not apply for other HDMI versions.

 

HDMI 2.0b can easily go over 10m (30ft) even without using optical cables.

 

HDMI 1.3 can realistically go to around 30m using standard copper cables. (100ft)

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
