Review on πŸ’» Enhanced DisplayPort Resolution Support by Cable Matters by Jayshawn Cuatlayol

DO NOT BUY! in Computers & Accessories

Hello everyone! I hope you take my advice to heart. I tried this cable with my CHG70. Because of the cable, my screen kept flickering and only handled YCbCr422 correctly at 8-bit resolution. The cable couldn't run on anything with 10 bits per channel and wouldn't switch to RGB. I've seen a lot of positive feedback on this cable and I'll say the cable works at 1440p YCbCr422 144Hz at 8 bits, but people don't buy this cable for that, they buy this cable to conform to the VESA 1.4 DisplayPort standard. This cable is NOT VESA CERTIFIED and it shows. I had no idea about this until I tried it today and then saw that it didn't work at all. I tried a VESA 1.4 DisplayPort certified cable right after trying this one I got from another monitor I owned and it worked perfectly flicker free and 144Hz at 1440p with RGB and 10bpc. Please make sure that whatever DisplayPort 1.4 cable you purchase, it must be VESA certified as it will most likely mean a lot to you and only cost you $2-4 more than this cable.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
