Unterminated end acts as an antennae. I hate to argue on a basic things. Maybe @camrector will help.What negative effect do you suppose there is to lifting the shield at one end? This technique is used in Melco, Sablon and Audioquest ethernet cables, among others I'm sure.
I am also in favour of limiting link speed to 100Mbps. Cable with two pairs is better than a cable with four pairs. Unused pairs interfere, even there are propetly terminated.
Our perception of resolution is frequently affected by brightness, so when I detect brightness, I disregard resolution.
