Cable Matters 4K Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 6ft, Supports 4K@60Hz / 2K@144Hz, Mini DP to DP Cable, Black

Great fast shipping, item packaged well and no damage found. Amazon listed this product with the highest ratings and it looks to be that good. This was a great upgrade from the 6 ft cable I have been using and stretching the cable too far to reach the computer. This one works great and fits so much better. Other reviewers stated they did not like the click shut button on the display port. I like it because it locks it into place so your monitor cable can't accidently become unplugged from the monitor. Fortunately, my monitor design lets me easily connect and disconnect the ports really easily. I tested it out on some games to see if it might flicker, but it came back good unlike some other display port cables I've tried. It also runs 2K videos just fine too.

Updated Review : I originally reviewed this as 1 star as the cable stopped working with about 4months of use. I contacted Cable Matters and with very little information they quickly shipped me out a new cable within no more than a week. The new cable resolved the issue which does prove the first cable did go bad. I can understand all sorts of items can have defective units and what really matters at that point is what the company does with it. I am glad they quickly resolved the issue and even checked in to see if it resolved my issue. Great customer service. If this new replacement fails I will update my review and contact them again. Lets hope this works a long time. THANK YOU CABLE MATTERS!!Original Review : Lasted about 4months. I thought my monitor or MacBook Pro might be the issue and I was able to test the display port both out of the Macbook and the Display Port into the monitor and they work with other cables and devices so I know this is the cable. I currently am using the same mini DP output out of my Macbook but with a old mini DP to HDMI adapter and that is working fine. To make sure it wasn't a defective DP port on the monitor I plugged it in via DP to DP to a PC so I know the DP on the monitor is functional. Bad cable at only 4months old, i will try to contact the company and see what I can get replaced. I usually don't see cables go bad so this was a shocker for me.

I bought these to extend the distance of my linkbox for my Vive Pro VR Headset. It has worked great so im not as limited to how far i need to be away from my PC while in VR.

Good quality

I recently purchased the Cable Matters 4K Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable and I am impressed with its performance. The cable supports 4K resolution and the picture quality is crisp and clear. The cable is also very durable and well-constructed, it's built to last. The length of the cable is also perfect for most applications, it's not too long or too short. However, the cable is not as flexible as I would like, it can be a bit stiff and difficult to bend. Additionally, the cable connector is a bit bulky which can make it difficult to use with some devices. Overall, it's a reliable and high-performance cable, but not the most flexible or sleek design.

Good quality cable but it could stand to be thinner. I use it in a dual monitor setup in a vertical arrangement and the bottom monitor is a portable 4k display. It is a 4k signal and works as expected. The cable isn't bulky, but it's as thick as some of my power cables and that makes it harder to hide and route.I think a lot of people mistake thicker cables for quality but the reality is that the thickness doesn't matter as long as the signal comes through. I've got 4k 60 hdmi cables that are a 4th as thick and I wish I could use them exclusively.Other than that, it appears to be made out of quality materials and the signal is sent. Amazon wants me to mention picture quality, and screen quality, but those keywords are not applicable when talking about a digital cable. Either it works or it doesn't and the rest is up to your tv / monitor.

I have only had this cable for a few days, so I cannot attest to its longevity, although I had no problems using it to connect my Surface Book (via the new Surface Dock) to an HP EliteDisplay E241i at 1920x1200. I have not tried using it for 4k output, as I am not yet on that bandwagon due to the lack of truly universal DPI scaling, even in Windows 10. I will say though that Win 10 does do a MUCH better job than previous versions when it comes to maintaining scaling on a per-display basis in multi-monitor situations where HiDPI and normal DPI displays coexist. Quick tip for Surface Book/Pro users using the docking station to connect to a monitor using 1:1 scaling: if some elements are still scaling up on the additional screen, simply log off/on, and this should correct the problem on the additional screen. Alternatively, hook up to the docking station before waking from sleep or signing on. I personally like to set the external as my main display, tweak the power settings so that the SB does nothing when the lid is closed, and then set it aside (lid closed), resulting in a traditional desktop-like setup. Throw in my Logitec MK270 keyboard/mouse combo (which also work flawlessly in this configuration) for around $20, and I can be every bit as productive sitting in my bedroom as I am at the office.

This is a great cable for the price, and is everything I expected.I use two of these at the same time to drive dual 1080p monitors from my 15" Retina MacBook Pro. I have been using these for several months for everything from basic productivity to gaming. I have had other cables that at several times the price of this one still had grainy picture representation on my displays. I haven't noticed a single issue with these and they are solid build quality. The gold-plated connectors are a single piece of metal that seems to rival quality of more expensive cables. I would recommend these to anyone owning a Mini DP-equipped device that needs to utilize a full-sized DP input.Pros:-High quality connectors-No grainy picture representation, worthy of at least light to moderate gaming-Ergonomically contoured Mini-DP plug makes for easy and safe insertion and removalCons:-None :)
