You are right! - Timing has nothing to do with it, but either does the length of the cable and making it 'much easier for the VGA tranmitter to drive the longer cable.' - BTW - I mistyped it is a 25 foot cable not 15.

OK, today I am thinking I will just buy a connector for the 2 VGA cables - so I could connect the 3 foot cable with the PC, disconnect the PC and then connect the 25 foot cable to the 3 footer and then connect the PC to the 25 footer and it should work.

Strange results. When I hooked the 3 foot cable up to the TV and then the 25 foot cable to the 3 foot. Everything worked perfect. So there is a difference between what is plugged into the TV from the 3 foot cable and the 25 foot cable. So the TV has no problem finding the PC with a total cable length of 28 feet. So I am closing in on the problem.

The obvious thing is that the 3 foot cable has the large 'bulges' close to the plugs and the 25 foot cable does not (it's a slim cable with no round cylindrical bulges near the plugs.) So, I am thinking that these bulges are ferrite cores, so I tried a small one I had on the 25 foot cable - but it does not work. Are there different VGA Plugs?

You know what's going on here?
