Cable Matters 4K DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable - 6ft, Supports up to 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz, Male to Male Computer Monitor Cable, DP Cord, Black

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?

Good quality cable with a nice plastic finish. Works great, no problems detected.

This is not a great cable - on my Dell UW3145 running at 80Hz, it would sporadically, but consistently, flicker between normal output and no output (black screen). I struggled for a while to figure out what the problem was, dropping the resolution and frame rate to see if it was monitor bound, and I was about to look into RMA'ing my graphics card before I decided to try using a different DP cable. Simply switching the cable out for another worked, and I now have a perfect output, unhindered by the annoying output drops. I'd stay away from this cable if you're looking for a DP cable - I only wish I had figured out it was a bad cable while it was still within the return window - what a waste of $10. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because it did somewhat work, so long as you could deal with losing all visual output for ~10 seconds every 30 seconds-10 minutes at random.EDIT: I was contacted by Cable Matters soon after writing this review, and they're sending a new cable my way soon. I'll update this review after I try it.EDIT2: So, I made the replacement cable my main cable again for a few weeks to see if I'd have any issues. My AMD drivers gave me issues about a displaylink failure. however my display still ran uninterrupted at the full resolution and refresh rate, so there didn't seem to be an issue. I was still going to dock this cable a bit for that, but after I switched back to my previously issue-free cable, it gave the same warning, so it must be a driver error. I'm happy to bump the score up to 5 stars for a working cable & good customer service.

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
