Cable Matters 4K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable 2m (DP to DP Cable) with 4K (3840 x 2160@60Hz), 2K (2560 x 1440@144Hz) support - 2 Metres

Unfortunately I couldn't get the cable to recognise my DP port there could be a number of reasons for this as my computer is 10 years old so I had to use an HDMI cable instead.

I bought an amazon DisplayPort cable as I thought with the cable being Amazon, with good reviews, and rep, I wouldn’t have any issues. At first I didn’t, all was well, but approx one year after owning the cable if the cable was moved ever so slightly the screen would flicker off and on. I could not use the swivel on my monitor or move the pc chassis at all without the screen flickering. I eventually got annoyed of having to readjust the cable I needed to buy a new cable. I looked online for a new cable, checked some forums and read that people had issues with many different brands of DisplayPort cables, mentioning issues of the monitor disconnecting and flickering. To cause confusion I found information that said the solution was to buy a cable with pin 20 disconnected. After the monitor flickered a few more times, driving me up the wall, I took a chance and ordered this locking mechanism cable from cable matters, it works well, no more monitor flickering and I can even wiggle the cable slightly at the back of the monitor/graphics card, no issues at all. Cheap solution. Cable seems well made. Problem solved.

This item was received using Next Day Delivery via Amazon Prime. Came in a standard Amazon cardboard envelope. It the cable packaging you will find a white slip and the cable, the white slip has generic information on it. The cable should be wrapped up with a white cap both ends. The cable is black and is protected by a rubber sheath, this is a durable cable that allows for a lot of bend. Mine has around 6cm until it hits the wall (from the back of my PC) then it has to drop at a right angle to fit into the space. Be aware that when disconnecting this cable there are some press switches on either side of the connector, if you don't press these the Display port wont move. Over all I'm happy with the Quality and performance, for me personally the press switches are an annoyance; but I can understand the need to try and prevent your display port from unplugging itself. I would definitely recommend this to any PC user.

For whatever reason my existing Displayport cable broke causing weird stuttering across the screen. The screen in question has a resolution of 3440 x 1440, so slightly more then the typical 1440p monitors. For some reason I cannot Fathom, LG did not use HDMI 2.0 on the panel, so as a result anything being sent over HDMI at this resolution is limited to 50Hz rather then the 60Hz. Long story short, went out hunting for a Displayport cable but was shocked at some of the prices in the local stores such as Maplin, PC world and Argos with cables starting at around £30. Before even walking to the next electrical store, jumped on the Amazon app, £9.99 next day delivery and was here by 10:30am. Plugged the cable in, set the settings to ensure both sides were set to Displayport 1.2 setting and voila, 60Hz once more at 3440 x 1440. Cant complain. One thing to note is the Cable ends are quiet thick, as a result it does interfere somewhat with the back of the PCI-E expansion slot brackets so I found I had to move all my GPU's down very slightly to get the cable plugged in. Not the hugest of issue as its likely my cause causing the issues, but something to bare in mind.

Had the cable in approximately 30 minutes. Seems like a strong and solid cable. Allows my display to display 1080p 144hz without problem. Does state on the page that it will support up to 4k at 60hz but i don't have the monitor to test that sadly. Item has some clips to keep the display port in place. these seem a bit stiff but at least they are durable and i don't feel like it is going to fall out. No issues so far. £8 can't really go wrong. Will update the review if the cable fails or there are any issues

As others have said this is a good value, well made cable. This has replaced a DVI connection between my PC and monitor and I have had no issues. In fact, better than that, it is sturdy, but doesn't remember the coil it had in the pocket - it straightened out immediately which I wish all cables would do. The plugs are of the locking variety (this is mentioned in the cable spec, but at the bottom) meaning the plugs won't accidentally come loose when moving the monitor, but, being a push type lock they are much easier to remove than the screw in DVI (and VGA) plugs on their respective cables. I can't think of a reason to remove any stars, so it's also a five star review from me.

I've owned mine for three years now and it's still working perfectly. For the price, this DisplayPort cable works really well and provides much higher data transfer rates than HDMI. The only issue that I've had with it, is that it's quite easy to knock and even a slight knock temporarily disrupts the display and causes the screen to go black. This wouldn't be an issue if your monitor is further away on your desk or wall mounted. Overall, great budget DisplayPort cable which greatly improved the delay I was receiving to my monitor. I would recommend this cable!

I bought a different cable for my dads pc as I needed it quickly and this one wasn’t in stock. Wish I hadn’t, ended up sending that one back as it was faulty and buying this one instead anyway. Didn’t save any time or money and should of just bought this one anyway. Great cable, have bought a few of these now and had no issues with them whatsoever.

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. 👍🔌😄
