Answer: 35Foot monoprice cables can't handle 1080p but a quality ($200) Monster cable will. BlueJeans claims they get 1080p at 50 feet so that should be a problem.

I'll bet money on that being bullshit. Officially HDMI really is only two wire gauges, 24 and 28. 28 is good to an effective length of ~20' and 24 ~100'. That $30 35' 24 AWG cable from Monoprice should work fine for you.

Remember, this is a digital signal, so as long as the signal gets there, the rest just doesn't matter.
