Review on Enhanced Silkland Thunderbolt Compatible MacBook DisplayPort: New Levels of Performance by Michael Wiley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works with Alienware m17 laptop on an external monitor!

I have an Alienware m17 R1 4K (UHD) 60Hz laptop that I use for photo editing, but I bought a 27" QHD 144Hz monitor for gaming. I used this cable to connect a mini Connecting the laptop display to the monitor's display port cable connector The laptop (windows 10) recognized the monitor but I had to go to the Nvidia Control Center to manually select the monitor setting (1440p @ 144Hz) After that everything worked fine. After I unplugged the cable, windows reverted to the laptop's 4K screen. The cable appears to be of good quality. The braiding seems to be very strong. If appropriate, I will update my review.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Volume
