I recently bought a gaming laptop with two display ports, one USB 3.2, one Mini DisplayPort. I prefer to use my gaming monitor than the laptop's built-in monitor, so I use that one. I didn't want to keep using the USB-C connector for DisplayPort, so instead I bought this cable to free up my USB-C. Every time my laptop goes to sleep, I have to unplug the cable, log in, and then plug the cable back in. Also, my large display randomly dims while playing/watching Netflix etc. I never had this problem until I bought this cable. It seems the only saving grace is that he's strong. Maybe I can use it to hang a potted plant or something.
