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.

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

Wrked very well, thank you

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.

Excellant cables that lock in to place with a great signal to the monitors

Finally got a monitor with a display port. It is about 5 metres away from my PC. I can now ditch my clunky 5 metre DVI cable with this much thinner display port version. It works perfectly.

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.
