Mini DisplayPort to DP Cable, 6 Feet, Gold-Plated - 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz - Black

If you buy a new ultrawide monitor because you want/need to view multiple screens at once, as I did and your macbook air will not allow you to configure the display settings to what is needed for the ultrawide screen to look normal, this inexpensive cord fixed the problem for me.I guess the issue is my mac is considered to be old and can not be updated to any OS beyond Monterey. And therefore, there are no options, even within advanced display settings, such as holding down the option key, etc to select an appropriate screen resolution.I was using a Thunderbolt 2 or mini display port to HDMI cord with my old 24 inch LG monitor with no issues. But, I guess, new monitors like my LG 45 Ultragear model 45GR65DC require a true 4K Thunderbolt cord. Also, I guess it was important to ensure the new cord wasn't HDMI, but was a 4K DisplayPort to Thunderbolt. I am so thrilled.All of a sudden, my display preferences contained more options and allowed for a more customized resolution setting, though it might not be the 5120 recommended, it's 3100. But it's fine. Text is clear and crisp and non-distorted.

I got these to connect 2 monitors to my Surface Pro 7 using the Surface Dock (1 gen model). The Surface Dock has 2 mini-DP output jacks and my monitors luckily have DP input ports.At first, I thought these cables were bad because they just wouldn't work with my Surface Dock at all. If you have the Surface Dock and these don't work for you, don't be quick to blame the cables because it's most likely not the cables (for this particular scenario which I will describe).The Surface Pro Dock worked with the Display Port when it first came out, but then Intel changed their software drivers for the display chip inside the Surface Dock. Since Windows 10 looks for and updates everything to the latest version of the software, they dutifully update Intel drivers whenever Intel releases new ones.The problem is that the *newer* version of the Intel graphics drivers (on the Surface Pro 7) doesn't work with the Surface Dock . . . AT ALL! This took me a while to figure out and the solution is very stupid, but it works. You have to manually load an older version of the Intel IRIS graphics drivers for the Intel Integrated graphics. Specifically, the version that I had to use was 25.20.100.7101which comes from an older version of the Surface Pro 7 drivers package which is "SurfacePro7_Win10_18362_19.103.34215.0.msi" You only need the graphics drivers from that package, not everything else. Simply trying to run that package won't work because you'll get a message that there are newer drivers and it will quit.Rather than trying to explain everything here, I'll just say that do an internet search and if you're tech-savvy, you'll be able to figure it out. I'll include a few photos that show the versions that work. Unless Intel releases a patch then this is the best solution I could find to get my Surface Pro 7 to work with dual DP monitors via the Surface Dock. If you have a tech-savvy friend, just show them the photos and they should be able to get your Surface Dock working with these cables.All of that was just to put some of the other reviews into context. There could be some people who received defective cables, but if they mention issues with Intel graphics, then it's probably not a faulty cable. Again, this is just my own personal experience with the cables specifically on the Surface Pro 7 with the Surface Dock (gen 1). YMMV.Overall, this is a great value to get things working for my 2 1920x1080 monitors. It's a good quality cable and having them as a 2-pack was exactly the solution I needed. I hope this might help anyone else who is having the same issue.I would buy these again and would definitely recommend them for the specific devices that I mention above. Great quality, great price.

Very specific cable for a specific use case, but it was a perfect price and perfect length for my application and was delivered fast and effectively. I used it to connect my mid2010 iMac to an external monitor. Not a common use case — but again, it’s a very soecific cable for a specific use case.

Excellent for a quad monitor configuration for my Lenovo PC's for productivity

Satisfied with item, good quality and worked well for what it was purchased.

The cable stopped working about 1 month after I installed it. I turned on the monitor and the screen that's connected via this Displayport cable was completely blacked out but not reporting a "No Signal" message. I checked the settings on the monitor and they were still pointing at the Display port. I then moved on to using a different type of cable (USB-c) just to rule out the monitor and laptop. This configuration was working fine so I thought this Display cable had gone bad. Contacted amazon.com support and explained what had happened, they understood the issue and sent me a replacement cable.I Installed the replacement cable about 1 week ago and everything was working fine until this morning when I was about to start work, I turned the monitor on and once again the screen was black. I could understand 1 cable being bad but a 2nd one going bad within 1 week of use! This is now very strange! I did a google search on "displayport cable stopped working" and the very first link (https://tinyurl.com/yjdrxt2q) that I clicked on suggested this: "Try disconnecting the monitor from power for a minute to reset it." WOW THIS FIXED MY ISSUE! but how could this happened we ask? The same person responded: "Not sure, it just happens sometimes with DisplayPort."I just wanted to share this extremely simple fix in case someone runs into the same issues that I did with this Displayport cable.

Nice merchandise.

Works great with my MacBook Pro and many other Apple computers. Cables feels pretty well made while the connectors s little cheap. Fits well and length is plenty.
