Cable Matters 4K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 6ft, 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?

The Cable Matters 4K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable has proven to be a reliable and high-quality choice for extended use. It consistently delivers a strong signal and excellent performance. This cable conveniently connects my DisplayPort-equipped computer to my HD monitor, providing stunning 4K video and flawless audio pass-thru. The gold-plated connectors and foil & braid shielding ensure superior performance and connectivity. The secure connection with latches is a great feature, preventing accidental unplugging. Overall, this cable is perfect for video streaming, gaming, and setting up extended or mirrored displays. Highly recommend for anyone needing a dependable DisplayPort cable!

I bought these cables (2) January 2021 and they still work great no issues. The only biggest drawback, major actually for PC gamers like myself, is that the cable is so stiff that it puts a lot of pressure/bend on the GPU port that can damage the port. This also applies to your monitors since I recently had to get a new one (it was time anyway) so I decided to upgrade (rebuilding PC). My previous monitor had the ports underneath so that bend with the DP prematurely wore and eventually ruined that one port. Great picture quality; cable itself is very thick and stiff; 6ft cable recommended for length; signal quality to monitor is snappy.

This cable is a lot bigger than I expected it to be, but still remains very flexible. I use this cable to connect my work laptop to my Dell 23" monitor when working from home. The cable needed to be flexible because it runs about a foot to the back of my desk and then takes a 90-degree turn downward to get out of sight (I hate seeing cables on my desk). This bend in the cable has introduce no degradation of video quality and doesn't appear to have caused any damage to the cable or jacket either. Because I work from home only one day per week, this cable is plugged in or unplugged at least twice per week. After a few months of this light abuse, the connector is still in excellent shape. At first, I had to get used to the push-button release, as I'm used to using HDMI cables which don't have any sort of latches. Despite some accidental abuse there, the connector still connects with a satisfying click and holds the cable firmly in place. Video quality through this cable is excellent. I've run a number of tests on it and don't see any noise or artifacts, and the colors on the Dell monitor are as faithfully reproduced as they are with the DVI cable I've had connected to my gaming desktop for years. I can't speak for any longer distances as I don't own those cables, but the 6-foot cable is great. All in all, this cable feels like a high quality cable and has excellent video quality. Highly recommended!

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

At this time I am not able to give a review concerning the Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort 6 foot cable. I am still trying to correct issues to the HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR)that was bought as a (CTO)customized HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC. Everything that was agreed upon with the Customer CTO agent to be customized unit. I was specific, I had detailed everything I wanted done, he assured me that it would be done. HP didn't send the DisplayPort to DisplayPort, had to buy from Amazon.com. The didn't send the Audio cable either. I bought the HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC which when delivered wasn't customized. I even called Customer Support, they told me to get back with the Sales Agent who sold me the HP PC. I have been on the telephone during the night, I called during the day, even during the wee morning hours. No luck at all. I have only bought two computers in the past 50 years. An Apple/2E, and this HP PC. Computers in the past 50 years I built from the ground up. Do the math, I am 71 years old. The last computer I began building was in 2006. During that time I kept with the updates for hardware, and software. Last December the motherboard died. To make it short, I am still trying to doing the near impossible, with a piece of junk into a working computer. I am still looking for questions to be answered from HP Customer support, some I figured out on my own. The other questions will have to come from HP Customer Support, along with their help, at the same time I won't be holding my breathe. I hope that HP's customer sales agent has nightmares, if you hear the name "Jerry" hang up on him. Jerry came off as a Veteran, and being a Vet. myself I felt comfortable that he was covering my back, so blame me in trusting. Bottom line is I will not buy from HP online ever again. ***** I should make this clear, just to be fair. I was on the web site of Amazon.com when I was looking for a Computer. The HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe was on Amazon.com which re-directed me to HP's Web site. I was dealing an HP customer sales agent who's name is Jerry. I still stand by what I said about the HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe, it is a piece of junk put together by HP. I have always had faith in Amazon in the past. The the HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe CTO Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR)that HP sent to me is still dead in the water, I still can not get help from HP's Customer support. As for the Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort 6 foot cable I just finished testing it on another computer. As for the cable I have to give it 5 stars. It is very well built, the connections fit tight. I had to buy the Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort 6 foot cable from Amazon.com. Shipment was sent on time as Amazon said in an e-mail. I will still buy from Amazon, at least they do what they say they will. Amazon has never let me down whenever I make an order. So I Apologize to Amazon, and to all the employees that work hard who makes Amazon who they are Today. Please excuse my actions, I was just frustrated at the time when I first wrote the review. - John W

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. 👍🔌😄
