4K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 10ft, Supports up to 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz, Male to Male Computer Monitor Cable, DP Cord, Black

Works as it should; bought this to replace another brand’s DisplayPort cable that I’d bought new but had constant flickering issues with. This cable has no flickering issues, and supports my 3440x1440 monitor just fine. I’m not sure if it’s because of the locking functionality that this cord has and the other brand’s didn’t, but I’ll be using this type from now on.

As a professional photographer and graphic artist in today’s world my computer monitors have a direct effect on my livelihood, and price is not a barrier to getting the best available. I just upgraded my main monitor in my home studio and have the capabilities of connecting it via display port interfaces at both ends so I ordered this short 3 foot cable. Searching the listings there were several to choose from. I chose Cable Matters. It wasn’t for price because they are actually one of the lowest cost choices available, but rather on their earned reputation for quality. I keep coming back to this brand because I trust it, and that is everything when your career depends on it. WHAT I LIKE This is what could be called the basic black option. If your decision is made on the theory that bright colors and a trendy appearance has anything to do with the performance of a cable, this isn’t your product. It is thick, not especially flexible with solid feeling ends. It has just the right amount of flex to be used with a monitor that has positioning adjustments that will be used often by the user. THE LOCKS Having used a previous DP cable from this company I have come to appreciate the importance of the locks at each connector that hold the connector firmly in the port and prevent it from working loose or accidentally being pulled out as the monitor is adjusted. To me this is not an option, it is a requirement, and most cables don’t have it. The locks were one of the key deciding factors in choosing this cable. YES OR NO Although the difference of a few dollars either way was meaningless to me in this case, performance was everything. This is a digital cable, there is no better or worse for such a signal, it either meets established standards of performance or it doesn’t. Of course this one does. It is definitely worth considering.

15 years in IT and I've seen (and fixed, and replaced, and broken) a *lot* of cables. Some things are totally fine to cheap out on, but when you're buying a multiple hundred dollar monitor, just do yourself a favor and get a quality cable. These cables are insanely high quality, very thick (which means good shielding, noise and interference protection) and come professionally packaged - some may say a bit over the top. I have the Amazon Basics brand, as well as no-name brand cables, and they really don't "feel" right. The lack of locking mechanism is a big tell if you are getting a proper "branded" cable, or an offshoot - DisplayPort is a trademark (as is HDMI), which means the manufacturer has to pay a royalty to use the brand, but that means it is compliant with the proper specifications of the cable (and the protocols that it carries). The locking latch mechanism is optional, but I've found I have a better experience with cables that lock versus cables that don't. The price is right, the quality is high, and the packaging is outstanding. What more could you ask for?

Works great connecting my monitor to GPU. Purchased in 2015 and still working.

Ok, I'll start by saying that this product works very well and at this time I'm very satisfied with the enhanced quality the cable provided as compared to the use of a displayport/VGA adapter and VGA cable. However, I'd like to add a cautionary tale for those of you who may experience a similar test of patience as I did after initially installing this cable. Some history and details: I've been running a dual display setup on my Dell Precision T3500 Workstation with two Dell Ultra Sharp 21.5" U2212HM Wide Displays. From the get go I used the native 1920 x 1080 resolution that both my Nvidia Quadro 2000 and Dell displays permit. However, I also noticed early on that the quality of the Dell displays left quite a bit to be desired. The resolution was fine but the quality of the text on the screen was horrible. It was noticably out of focus and it caused me to begin my research as to why the upgrade to the Dell Ultra Sharp displays would actually cause such a sight for sore eyes, pun intended. I went through the Windows 7 Adjust ClearType text procedure with no better outcome. All of this eventually led me to the purchase of the Cable Matters DP to DP cables. I installed them easily into the Quadro 2000 DP inputs and into the Dell display DP inputs in minutes. Upon powering up I noticed a HUGE improvement to the screen quality and text. It was crystall clear and sharp like never before. I was very excited about the quality. At the time of installing the new cables I had not changed any settings; drivers, resolution, programs, etc. Three days after installing the new cables I came to find that my resolution had changed for no apparent reason. I went into Control Panel to change the screen resolution back to the native 1920 x 1080 but found I could not do so. For some reason Windows 7 was not reporting the correct Dell displays and instead has listed a Mobile PC Display was detected. The only resolution available was 600 x 400. I started checking all drivers, programs, ran display diagnostics, video card diagnostics and anything else I could think of to no avail. I couldn't get W7 to detect the correct Dell displays. I also check to see if there were any automatic Windows updates, but there were not. I started systematically updating drivers starting one at a time with each relavent device; display drivers, nvidia Quadro 2000 drivers, everything to with no luck. I tested the cables, video card, displays a second time and everything checked out. I was stumped. After some more research I found there are a lot of display issues with dual monitor setups and very similar issues with displayport connections and windows 7. At a omplete loss I called my IT tech brother and he went about removing and re-installing my graphics card as if it were a new device from scratch. After a little while he had everything up and running, oddly enough with the same video board, cables, drivers etc as was previous installed and in affect when I replaced the cables to begin with. So I can't say what happened to cause the resolution change and unrecognized displays but the fix was to reinstall everything from scratch.Today everything is back to the amazing quality it was after the initial cable install. Good luck, cables matter.

Good quality!

Inicialmente comprei um produto mais barato de marca desconhecida, meu monitor de 144hz ficava piscando sem parar. Então decidi comprar um produto de qualidade porém sabendo que o preço seria consideravelmente maior, mas garanto que valeu a pena, o monitor apresentou a qualidade de imagem que deveria entregando os 144hz, não tive mais o problema do monitor piscar. Recomendo!

Prodotto perfetto con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Particolarmente curata la confezione, che è facilmente riutilizzabile per custodire altri cavi. Consigliatissimo.

Paid for a cable, a cable arrived. Amazon wants me to leave a review so here we are. Will it plug into your display? Yes. Will it change your life? Maybe. Only one way to find out.

Este cable DisplayPort a DisplayPort con seguros ha hecho que mi vida sea mucho más fácil y cómoda. 🔒 Los seguros en los conectores son un toque genial. Finalmente, puedo decir adiós a la molestia de que el cable se suelte por sí solo cada vez que muevo mi pantalla. Esto ha marcado una gran diferencia en mi rutina diaria. 📏 Aunque es un excelente cable en muchos aspectos, echo de menos que fuera un poco más largo. A veces, la distancia entre mi pantalla y la fuente es un reto, y un cable más largo sería perfecto. 🏆 Cabe destacar que este cable ha estado en uso durante un año y sigue funcionando como nuevo. Su durabilidad y calidad son realmente impresionantes. No ha mostrado ningún signo de desgaste. En resumen, este cable DisplayPort ha sido una adición valiosa a mi configuración de pantalla. Los seguros son un salvavidas, y su durabilidad es destacable. Si necesitas un cable de alta calidad para tu configuración, este es una excelente elección, aunque quizás quieras considerar la longitud en función de tus necesidades específicas. 👍🔌😄
