"I am a split user. MacOS and Windows10. I use one for professional use and one for gaming use. This cable offers amazing quality so long as you use Windows10. Using MacOS with latest update I am getting a pink screen tint image. No matter what Hz I set it too or color setting I adjust it too. When I use it in windows10 it works amazing at 144hz and handles the bandwidth via my matching frame-rate. For gaming its amazing but I cannot give it 5 stars due to the quirks with handshaking with MacOS systems.Ran tests native via GPU DP1.2 and 1.4 port and also running to a ViewSonic 144hz 1080p with a DP 1.2 port. The MacBook Pro was using a Thunderbolt3 Elgato Dock with a DP 1.2 port.Mind you I use this cable on a Windows10 machine. Works just fine. A boot-camped MacBook Pro 16inch in MacOS native operating system, just a pink screen. The cable works however on a bootcamp'd MBP which is an Apple product. It is so weird. Works on a MacBook Pro so long as your machine is bootcamp'd with Windows10. Will give you a pink screen if you use it with MacOS.Still love the build quality of the cable and the durable pin snap button."

These cables work like they should. I use a 15' one on my 1920x1200 60hz monitor. I've successfully daisychained this one to another monitor, same specs, with a 10' cable between them. My computer did sometimes have issues detecting the monitors in this configuration, but I think it may have been pushing the limits. It usually worked fine and there were never dropouts once up and running.When directly connecting each monitor to the PC there are no issues whatsoever. I've added a 1080p 240hz monitor to my setup and am using a 10' cable on it -- there are no connectivity issues at all and it's operating at 240hz.I'm very happy with the quality of these KabelDirekt cables. They're sturdy and you can feel the quality. The ends have a satin finish and a locking mechanism. I've tried cheaper cables of similar lengths and had blackout issues. These are well worth the extra cost.dd

I was skeptical when I purchased these cables, they are very inexpensive for a 10ft DP cable that supports the DP 1.4 protocol. I was immediately impressed when I pulled them out of the bag.Instead of metal twist ties, they use small pieces of velcro to secure the cable in a coil when shipping. I really like this since it allows me to use that velcro for cable management. I also like velcro vs twist ties and zip ties because it is very difficult to damage the cable by pulling velcro too tight... honestly, you have to by TRYING to damage the cable when using velcro ;)These are heavy duty cables, yet they were easy to straighten out and get through the grommets on my desk.The connectors snapped into the DP ports securely, yet easy to remove when needed.I need to get a few more, however they were low on stock. Hopefully they replenish soon as I am not a fan of the other DP 1.4 10ft cables I am seeing on Amazon right now (03-2019).steve t

It's hard to say a lot about cables. The connect my new monitor great, and have been working great for a year. I would say that's a winner. I haven't had any issues with any of the cables I've purchased from CableDirect, and these cables are no exception.quality cables at a good price!humblepie

I searched for 'quality cables' and these came up in several glowing reviews so I decided to try them. The cables and connectors are quite thick, so you may have to put a partial loop in the cables when hooking them up to your monitor. I have a half loop in mine after routing them through my wall mounted monitor stand to give them some room for movement and it works great.The connectors are large and rectangular, so the fit in my RTX 3700 was snug. There was no sloppiness or movement with the connection. And of course the picture was flawless. Would buy againdan
