K_Man Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi there, I set up my Vive in the room next to my PC room. I ran a USB and 25' HDMI cable to the breakout box sitting in the VR room. When using the Vive I am getting very noticable green flying specks in any black/dark area (space, sky, menu bars, etc.) it looks like the old windows starfield screensaver. - except in green. So I brought my headset next to my PC and used a shorter HDMI cable to the breakout box - no green specks. So this has me thinking it is the cable. The cable is brand new 25 foot HDMI 2.0 from "Canada Computers". I put a monitor in the VR room at the end of this new cable and I see no issue. Any thoughts on how to get it working? HDMI booster? Active cable? Is the Vive's HDMI specification picky? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockjaw Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi , Some people report issues with longer HDMI cables - it varies depending on the cable itself. Here's a list of cables tested by Reddit members: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/wiki/cables You should be able to find a cable length that'll work for you in that list.
