weird dots on display

I have this weird problem:
I'm running a beast pc with 2 monitors. first monitor is a 42" tv connected with hdmi (tv) and dvi (pc), via a short cable. The second monitor is a 50" tv connected with hdmi over a 30 ft long cable to the living room.

first monitor works perfect with the short cable. the second one has very strange weird dots all over the display.

I switches cables, cards and pc's and this is the situation: the dots appear only in the long cable 's tv and only when connected to DESKTOP GPUs. I've tried amd 7990, gtx 980ti, gtx1060. all with the same result. but when I connected laptops (3 of them, with and without discreet GPUs) all was well in both monitors. the problem disappeared. now I know it has a specific issue with desktop gpus. any suggestions??
 
I have narrowed the issue:

I used 2 other TV's, and the picture was crystal clear.

only on the big 50" the dots occurred. BUT - only with the ultra long cable. with a regular cable it was all good.

any suggestions?
