As a sort-of relevant example, people someimes ask where they can buy a 10 metre USB cable: the point is, that the USB-standard maximum length is only 5 metres. See what I mean? Im not expecting there to be a rigidly enforced standard like USB has, but after a bit of research at least you will know if a DVI cable can reliably transfer data of a 5 metre run.

A quick look brought up this:

Assuming that the above is accurate: and I have only posted it because I believe that it is, then Id say that a 1080P/I widescreen signal will use a similar amount of bandwidth to the first resolution quoted above. I dont htink that a 5 metre cable is going to give you an impressive result

I know Simon
We had that problem initially when Customers decided they wanted their USB devices more than 5 metres away
TBH I think we actually use boosters/repeaters but they do work well
