Can you extend an HDMI lead?
The most common ways to extend the length of HDMI cables is by using an HDMI Balun kit, also known as an HDMI Extender. With an HDMI Balun kit, you simply plug your HDMI source into a base station which then converts the signal to be carried by an Ethernet cable, and converts back to HDMI at the destination.
How long can you extend HDMI?
Like many audio, video, and data cables, HDMI cords can suffer from signal degradation at longer lengths—50 feet is generally considered the maximum reliable length. And it’s rare to see an HDMI cable longer than 25 feet in a store.
Does HDMI extension reduce quality?
Simple, but is it the best solution? An HDMI coupler will degrade your signal. And through use, the HDMI connector will loosen and may break when cables are tugged. The best solution is an HDMI Balun kit, which uses Ethernet to transmit the signal between your devices instead of an HDMI cable.

What kind of cable do I need for Raspberry Pi 4?
Note that the Raspberry Pi 4 has two micro HDMI connectors, which require a good-quality micro HDMI cable, especially when using 4K monitors/TVs. For monitors with a DVI port, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable, or an HDMI cable with a DVI adapter. Note that the DVI standard does not support audio.
How to set up HDMI on a PI 4?
On the Pi 4, to specify the HDMI port, add an index identifier to the hdmi_group or hdmi_mode entry in config.txt, e.g. hdmi_mode:0 or hdmi_group:1. There are two options for setting a custom mode: hdmi_cvt and hdmi_timings. hdmi_cvt sets a custom Coordinated Video Timing entry, which is described fully here: Video Configuration
