Cable Matters [VESA Certified] 32.4Gbps DisplayPort 1.4 Cable - 6ft, Support 8K 60Hz, 4K 240Hz DisplayPort Cable 1.4 with FreeSync, G-SYNC and HDR for Gaming Monitor, PC, RTX 4080/4090, RX 6800/6900

This cable is fast, easy to use and has solid build quality. It’s a sturdy cable that doesn’t break easily and comes with a handy release button so it doesn’t accidentally unplug itself. It connects well and at this price you get 2 of the cables making this an absolute must have for those who need a cable like this.

This was ordered to replace a cheaper non-certified display port cable. My new monitor came with a HDMI cable, but my PC only had display port outputs. Ordered a cheaper non-certified cable and it caused video and sound problems. I had intermittent video streaking and audio static pops right from hookup. Tried several "fixes" but nothing worked. Found a tech article that suggested a cheap cable could cause a variety of problems. Since installing this cable I have had no problems at all. This cable has been working perfectly for several days and has cleared up both issues. Certified cables may cost a few bucks more, but they are worth the money. Quality construction and material made a big difference in this case. If you are having strange screen and sound problems you might check if your cables meet VESA standards.

I guess there isn't a lot you can really say about cables. For the most part they do all that they claim they do or they don't. My monitor is reporting the proper DisplayPort 1.4 support it should see, 144Hz 1080p and FreeSync work (even HDR works, but my monitor has useless HDR,) 10-bit and 12-bit modes seem to work, and so on. In short, the cable seems to do what it says it does, and that's pretty much all anyone could ask from a cable. I can't test 8K or 4K, but with the monitor reporting these things correctly coming through I would assume that those should as well (pretty much DP1.4 standard.)Now I'll just have to see if it keeps working, but so far no problems.

For a desktop use I think the braided cables are kind of silly. You run the cable once and then it just sits there. You don't need the abrasion resistance and longevity of a braided cable, so why waste the money. I picked these cables up for 2 reasons: 1) they have the latch--as an aside I will mention that I dislike displayport cables that don't have the latches to lock it in place--and 2) they were fairly cheap. The come a little bit over-packaged in my opinion. The cables are flat rolled, clipped with little plastic clips, vacuum bagged, and then ziplock bagged. The quality is good, and I would recommend this brand to anyone looking to pick up cables.

I bought this cable 1. My old cable was too short and 2. Old cable doesn’t support high refresh rate The cable works exactly as it should. Flexible and easy to cable manage. After plugging into my monitor and PC, in display settings it showed higher refresh rate options. The monitor refresh rate jumped from 120hz to 180hz while having the same resolution.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:If this is the one I'm thinking of, it was too short. That's my fault. Still took a star off bc I can't imagine anyone needing one this short. Also it has the weird ends that you have to press in to unlock to get it out of the port, and whew buddy that's a pain for me. Bought two from different source that were longer, like 6' and didn't have the dumb locking ends.

I'm got a new computer and it has displayport and so does my monitor. When I saw Cable Matters had a cable I went with them. They make quality stuff that does not break down over time.

Works great on monitor
