I have started replacing all of my standard 3-5 foot monitor cables with longer options as the extra length and angles allow for much more flexibility in placing monitors without unplugging them, new having to wire it up and plug it back in. I suspect these are the 'last cables' I will ever need as I only need about 5 at any given time and I have a drawer of 20 shorter cables that I have used with PC and monitor purchases over the course of my life have collected. I've been slowly using them as spares and intend to recycle a few standard cables. I highly recommend. Start with one. Get more if you like them.
