That depends on the video card, monitor, type of cable, and the 
resolution you use.  The lower the resolution the better it will work.

In one place, I drive about that distance using a VGA distribution 
amplifier box, but I am only doing 1024x768, and it still isn't perfect 
quality.

Several companies make boxes just for this purpose though, called 
console extenders.  Gefen seems to be one of the most respected brands.
