I certainly wouldn't want to use a passive cable at all to split
higher-resolution modes (say, 1600x1200@85Hz) - for that I'd
recommend an active box.


Passive splitters never work *properly* with any baseband video signal
as they expect correct termination.
I'm using the correct active DA.


When you mentioned DA in the original posting I thought it might mean
Display Adaptor but now I'm very confused!


Sorry - distribution amplifier. More accurate description than splitter
which could just as easily be passive.
