Review on ๐Ÿ’ป CableCreation Display Adapter - Compatible with MacBook by Will Carey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not work for 4K at 144Hz

This will not correctly sync 144Hz 4K between a new Lenovo Legion laptop with DP Alternate Mode and a new Gigabyte monitor when using the DisplayPort 1.4 cable that came with the monitor becomes. With this adapter, synchronization will cause the monitor to cycle on and off, and the connection will succeed maybe 20% of the time before the monitor decides there is no input and gives up. The same cable + adapter worked 100% with my Mac, which only sends the picture at 60Hz, so it wasn't entirely broken. And another DisplayPort 1.4->USB C cable from a competitor of the same name synced the monitor at 4K 144Hz to my Lenovo laptop with no issues. While I haven't completely isolated the monitor's DisplayPort cable from the sort, I'm more inclined to think that this adapter has issues than the OEM monitor cable and would recommend avoiding it if you're going over spec.
