Review on Cable Matters Unidirectional DisplayPort Support by Michael Sharp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Basically works. But not always

Cable mostly works. But after 2 weeks it got a little weird. At the start of a gaming session after the computer has been off for more than 12 hours. It kept dropping the signal for 10 seconds every few minutes until I unplugged it and plugged it back into my monitor. Or have turned my monitor completely off and on again. And the resolution change accidentally failed to sync until I changed it again (Alt-Tab back to desktop) or restarted. This happened once every 2 days or so. All of this ran at 2560 x 1440 at 120Hz (a mix of HDR and SDR scenarios). Went back to the inactive (shorter) cable and all of these problems were gone. For a week without any problems.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
