Quality Displayport Cables Around?

[Jinn-Gon Qui]

Looking for a new displayport cable since the one I'm using right now is the reason why I have issues with my monitor, after troubleshooting - I'm sure.

So I don't want to get something cheap, I want the best of the best.

It's known that light moves faster through expensive cable.

So what are expensive cables price-range-wise and what's the most expensive?

"videophile" displayport cables aren't really a thing, get any 1.3/1.4 cable from a reputable brand

Would it work for 1440p, 144/165Hz? I think I've heard you need specific cables for specific monitors?

If it's an HBR2 1.2 or up cable then yes it would work just fine. If you want to be a goof about it then here's a list of certified cables https://www.displayport.org/product-category/cables-adaptors/

But realistically anything reputable that is at least HBR2 should work. Look out for 1.3 or 1.4 and HBR3 if you really want "the best of DP" cables.

I see what you did there, even if no one else did.

So which one of these two is better:

Pretty much exactly the same spec, 1.4 and HBR3. The Club3D one is better value for money though.

Then the latter it is.


Thanks for everyone's help!
