HDMI - 5 m 16.5 ft -long - what to pay attention?

Hi all,
I want to connect the Oppo BDP-95 to the TV with a HDMI cable. However, the cable has to be 5 meters (16.5 ft) long.Is this possible and what should I pay attention to? And what cable do you recommend bearing in mind my budget of up to USD 500?
Cheers and thank you for your advise

Go to Monoprice.com They have an excellent selection of high quality HDMI for cheap. Don't spend oodles of money on HDMI. Spend that money elsewhere.

Also, if your looking for a good sub woofer cable, give Bluejeans cable a try. I bought their Sub woofer cable for about $30. and it's the best Sub woofer cable I have ever used.

I bought an HDMI off Amazon, 35' in length. Worked just fine. In fact I could discern no difference between it and the more expensive Monster @ $69 per 1.5m.

Best,

Dave

I use a Transparent Audio 50ft HDMI from my sat dish to projector. Colors are richer using it vs a 1 meter no name HDMI cable...so better cable, even the wife can see it...
