Well, yes and no. The technology in a 5 foot cable can't be used in a 50ft cable so the 50ft cable will be more expensive, but again you'll either get an image or you won't (or it'll do really obvious stuff like flicker on and off.) The image won't degrade, it just may not make it to the TV. Active cables can go to much greater lengths but are more expensive.
