Accell DisplayPort to DisplayPort Version 1.4 Cable, 9.8ft / 3m, Poly Bag (International), Black (B088C-010B-23)

I use this cable to connect my 2009 15" Macbook Pro to a Acer G257HU 1440p monitor. This has been my first experience with using DisplayPort, but being able to run my monitor at its native resolution is 100% worth it. Two things that caught my attention on this cable were the solid overall reviews, Lifetime Warranty, and their headquarters is located in the USA (California).This cable will support resolutions up to 4k (I've tested it with a ASUS PB287Q 4K @ 60hz) as well as 3D video and total data transfer of up to 21.6GB/s and is VESA certified. I ordered the 3.3ft cable thinking it would be long enough, but with Apple having the Mini DP on the left side of the laptop it is a bit of a stretch to connect it. This cable has been hooked up for almost a year now and has given me no issues to date! If you computer goes into Sleep mode, this cable allows the monitor to wake up when your computer does as well which is convenient and something all cables don't do. There's no kind of flickering with this cable, and the text on the screen is crystal clear/easy to read and colors are very accurate and vibrant.One thing I don't like about this cable is the quality of plastic on the Display port end. For whatever reason it seems cheaply made, and I am not a fan of the latch, but it has given me no problems so far and due to it sitting behind my monitor I never see it. In terms of overall quality, the cable is very thick and has held up great to some bending during moving. I took a picture of it next to my mouse's wire to give you an idea of the gauge of wire.THOUGHTS: This cable is everything you want in a cable. It is slightly more expensive, but is has a proven track record, is high quality, and comes with a lifetime warranty.RETURN PROCESS/CUSTOMER SERVICE:A note on the warranty; at one point I thought the cable was failing on me and I started the RMA process. Customer service was immediate and very helpful. If you need to return the cable you are responsible for return shipping, but their support is top notch and easy to work with. Spend the extra few dollars on this cable and avoid the gamble of buying other cheaper cables!

Just a quick message for those who care!I'm using this cable with a mid 2012 MacBook Air 11 inch and the micro center Auria 27 inch monitor and I could get full native 2550x1440 resolution with audio, while the laptop is in clamshell mode.At first I got the other cable like this one here on amazon for half the price and couldn't get it to work at the monitor's native resolution. It display some blue stripe vertically on the left side of the monitor. So I returned it back. A month later I decided to give it ago again by buying from this seller instead. The item is just like the picture but with better packaging for twice the price, but I feel it is just the same item since it look exactly like the last item I returned. To carry on, I did encounter with the blue stipe problem again!!! I continue to play around with the settings like enabling mirror mode and changing various resolution for a few minutes just like I did with the previous one. Yeah, it doesn't just work right away, and I was fully aware of that since the first one, but this one just sets itself up a bit faster. Perhaps it has something to do with the length, the last one was at least three meters, this one is just one meter.I think this one is the same one as I bought last time, just anothe cheap Chinese junk, so the quality could be a hit or miss, and I hit a good one this time. Though its cheap, but it works well and the picture is perfect, monitor wakes up from sleep just fine, no problem, the connector feels solid and it has a stress relieve collar where the wire exit the connector. The cable is not so soft if that matters to some of you. It was ship in a sealed bubble packaging, not a ziplock bag like the first one. In a sense, it was much better presented.You can call it "quality built" if you were to hold it in your hands, but Like I said, these are cheap stuff, they are hit and miss, but they get the job done if you get a working one. Buy this one or buy the lesser price one if you like since they are the same thing, but do yourself a favor and buy two or three just I case you end up with a few bad ones, then return them if you don't use them all or they're bad.I will edit this down the road if any problem arises.

I have an Asus ROG PG278Q, 1440P 144Hz screen, and apparently the cable I was using was not able to work with the newer card (although it worked fine with an old 770GTX) Switched to a 1070 GTX last week and had issues with the screen flickering which I eventually tracked down to a detection issue; Nvidia Control panel refused to see the correct model of this screen (second different model was fine), and the G-Sync kept enabling and disabling itself, causing the screen to flash. Along with this, the refresh rate kept lowering to 85Hz.Quick Google search confirmed and told me to replace cable, reviews led me to this cable. I got my screen second hand so I was given a random displayport cable, which has worked perfectly fine for the past 2 years, until now. Swtiched to this cable, works perfectly fine. Don't buy a cheap cable. Spend the extra $8-10 compared to the other cables out there and get one that is certified. There is a difference, which is the first time I've been able to say that confidently. I've been a computer tech for a bit over 3 years, and have never encountered this issue before (granted the high majority of people still rock 1080P).Cable also supports 4k @ 60Hz, with a lifetime replacement warranty. It is much thicker then my previous cable, and doesn't flex nearly as much. However, you know by the feel that you got a durable cable that will last you quite a long time. Would highly recommend for anyone running above 1080P, regardless of your refresh rate.
