Cable Matters 2-Pack 8K USB C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable, 1.8m, Black

If you are struggling to get your Mac to recognise an ultra wide monitor via HDMI, this is the fix. £15.99 felt steep for a cable, but it is a valid investment for the night and day difference between this and HDMI. As I was previously using a USB-C to HDMI cable with my Mac and 49inch Ultrawide, there was a nightmare issue with the resolution; text looked pixelated, colours were washed out, and the refresh rate was stuck at 60Hz, which causes noticeable eye strain. As soon as I plugged this in, my Mac recognised the correct UltraWide Resolution, and it successfully outputs at 240Hz (My monitor setting is at 120, which is why it shows that on the Settings in my attached photo), the smoothness of the mouse and UI is incredible. As the text is finally crisp, I can be much more productive without getting a headache. The cable feels very premium and doesn't feel like it will easy break in the near future. The 1.8 metre length is excellent, I have a large L shaped desk, and I can use this cable easily with my Mac or iPad and move freely without the cable snagging or being too short. If you have a Mac, do not go with HDMI.

Ok, I purchased two high-quality so-called compatible USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cables to connect my Lenovo Creator Extreme 27 monitor to my Mac Mini M1, aiming to take advantage of the custom resolution setting of 1920x1440 HiDPI. Regrettably, my efforts did not yield the desired results. I intended to return my monitor because the UGreen cable, although it showed compatibility, failed to function just like the other cable. The return process was lengthy. Upon reviewing a comment that highlighted compatibility with the Mac Mini M1, I decided to give it another chance and placed an order. I was pleased with my decision. My monitor now features a 1920 x 140 HiDPI resolution, delivering Retina quality without the need for a 5k purchase, as most content is available in 4k. This setup requires no additional pixels or GPU processing power, making it highly practical. The colour accuracy and overall performance of the monitor with a DisplayPort 1.4 connection are exceptional. This cable functioned super effectively right away! This cable truly fulfils its promises!

This is a REALLY nice cable and well priced too. I don't normally write Amazon reviews for things like cables which are just a necessary part of tech/desk setups and go between the peripherals and machines we actually care about. This cable made my jaw drop when I opened it. The connectors feel SO tight and SO high quality. Unplugging and plugging it from either end gives me pure confidence. It's running from my M1 Max MacBook Pro to a 32" LG 4K monitor outputting a 4K 120Hz picture over Displayport but can also do the full 144Hz over Displayport DSC if I chose to go this route). I'm going to buy another one for my second monitor because this is an absolutely wonderful and quality product.

Got two of those usb-c to DP 1.8m. Superb quality. It is difficult to unplug DP plug as latching mechanism is very rigid but it plugs very securely. USB c plug has very satisfying plug-in feel. Golden color plating on both connectors. Tested it on 3440x1440x75Hz+FreeSync 34inch Samsung monitor and 1440p 27 inch Dell Ultra-sharp and ilyama B2783QSU. Works fine. Plugged it to 3 laptops for compatibility test. Relatively new hp envy and Lenovo thinkPad works flawless. My older work laptop - dell latitude 5580 is struggling a bit. It work with full resolution but colors bitrate is low with visible banding. it’s ok for text and programming. Probably drivers could fix this. Anyways it’s a laptops limitation. Cables are relatively flexible and comfortable to route though narrow channels. My recommendation would be to buy it if you won’t be unplugging monitor DP plug too often and you have relatively new laptop, as older laptops running windows 7 might have usb-c drivers issue preventing them to use this cable at full capacity. I am expecting it to work fine with Dell docking station I have at work (we have usb-c to DP cables at work and those plug to from dock to monitor) But I’ll check this cable once covid19 shutdown is over.

YES ! This cable makes my PSVR2 headset work with the PSVR2 adapter (Koowod) I got from AMAZON UK. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/PSVR2-PC-Adapter-Accessories-Library-Black/dp/B0DJ6ZLL78/ref=sr_1_1) (which was actually shipped from the U.S. I believe) on my ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506IV laptop. I plugged the DP end into the adaptor and the other end into my USB-C slot on my laptop. Works great with Steam and able to play HALF-LIFE ALYX on my laptop - anywhere now. Very happy.

In my case this the best way to get the best output from my Minisforum EM860 mini PC, as it only come with HDMI port. Onboard HDMI only gave me 8bit when output 1080p 165hz. Fortunately my EM860 come with 2 usb4 port. With this cable matter USB-c to DP, out of the box, I was able to run my display at 1080p 165hz HDR at 10bit RGB color, without any tweaking. In addition, I am able to verified out of the box it works with my AMD Freesync premium I had tried other expensive USB4 hub from reputable Ank**, no luck with 10bit HDR. This cable even works with my Samsung phone, plug and play for Samsung DEX. Kudos to cable matter for producing such a quality cable and reasonable price. This is the best if not the only way to get the best picture quality for my display, at least in my case when my mini PC only lack onboard DP1.4

After 3 hours of trying to get my ‘Amazon recommended’ DP to USBC cable - working with google Gemini - we worked out that the cable was Display Port (DP) protocol DP1.2. M new Lenovo monitor needs DP1.4. Who knows - I thought it was just a cable! Anyway, this one arrived, plugged it in and it wired instantly. If in doubt just buy the best Cable Matters cable you can to avoid 3 hours of misery and swearing 🤬 It is now my go to brand.

I have been looking for a cable/dock to connect my Lenovo T480 to a 4K DisplayPort Monitor via the USB-C or Thunderbolt port on the laptop. After trying many solutions and cables available, I was struggling to get the advertised 4K60Hz output from the laptop, no matter what I tried the laptop and monitor would only offer 4K30Hz, this cable from Cable Matters solved all the issues! When connected to the laptop my display was immediately detected at native 4K and running a smooth 60Hz - Perfect If you have a Lenovo T480 don't bother buying the cheaper cables that claim 4K60Hz, save yourself the trouble of testing and multi returns and get this one. Recommended.

I like these. They are quality built and I like how they lock into place. Took me. Second to realize there are buttons on them to release. That was / what the heck moment but I like the feature.

Rien à redire, il fait parfaitement le job ! Je l'utilise pour relier mon Mac Mini à mon écran Asus ProArt et le signal est impeccable. Si je devais vraiment chipoter, j'aurais aimé une version un tout petit peu plus courte pour optimiser mon cable management et avoir un bureau ultra net, mais c'est vraiment pour chercher la petite bête. Très content au global.

Service client particulièrement réactif et produit d’une qualité exemplaire. Une recommandation sans réserve.

Top, werkt prima tussen ouder Dell 27" scherm en iMac 2017.

Funciona perfectamente.. antes tenia conectado el portátil a la pantalla por hdmi.. y no me dejaba seleccionar más de 144hz.. pero ahora que lo tengo por el usb-c al displayport.. me seleccionado automáticamente los 240hz y funciona como debe. Hay comentarios en otros cables que dicen que no funcionan con el odyssey g7, no se si es por el cable, pero si que encontré que cambiando la configuración del monitor en: sistema -> modo pc/av -> displayport1 -> AV (originalmente estaba en PC), funciona. Por si le sirve a alguien de ayuda.
