We used ATEN (VE150) extenders and BlackBox (AVX-VGA-TP-LRX) models.
ATEN could help if you are looking for a cheap solution, while BlackBox are preferable if you look at a high level solution. Both feature equalization and bring on the other side various resolutions.
Our experience was that you can easily go 750 ft/250m away at 1366x768 with an inexpensive Cat6 cable.
Both suppliers offer also devices that carry DVI and HDMI signals, up to HDTV resolutions.
Some models offer also double channel option or 2 outputs which can be interesting if you need to put a monitor for the announcer and for the public, without adding extra splitters.
