🖥️ Maxonar Odyssey: Certified 7680X4320 DisplayPort for Superior Display Performance Review

Bought to complement a gift for my little sister for the early holidays of this season. She loves it and says there is a noticeable difference between the ones she's used before and this one. She's very critical of anything electronic (like me, part of the family*) so I figured if it passed her tests it should be ordered home for me. As soon as I publish this review I will be ordering more of these. I will update if the ones I get are different than expected and also if there are any possible…

I'm using this from my GTX 3090 PC on a LG 27GN950-B, 27" 144Hz 4K panel (160Hz after a firmware update). Works perfectly. I've heard that the standard DP1.4 cable that came with the display can't properly handle the 160Hz refresh, but haven't personally tested this since I upgraded after receiving this cable. My display is arm mounted, the cable sleeve limited how hard I could squeeze the screen against my outstretched arm (it's pretty much the only way I use it). It's still a bit bulky, like…

Although the packaging was nice and the quality of the cable looked very nice, the properties of the cable left a lot to be desired. For the first few hours of initial use, my 1440p 144Hz monitor worked flawlessly. However, I did notice that the head of the cable connected to my monitor felt quite hot. After further use, my monitor sometimes flickered to a black screen. A/B testing with another cable showed that the problem was unique to this Maxonar cable. I requested a replacement and the…

I have had this cable for two months now. It was well packed. Feels good. Looks great. Works almost great. What worries me is that every time I turn on the computer, I sometimes even wake up from sleep. The cable will not connect causing the monitor to wake up. I have to reach out and unplug the cable and plug it back in for the computer to recognize the attached display through the cable. It's gotten so annoying in the last two months that when I turn on the computer, it can't "just work"…

I wasn't expecting much from a 10ft braided DP1.4 cable for less than $20. Very glad I tried it. The cable is thick but light. The fabric is of good quality and strong. The heads are strong and the collars are ultra-reinforced. The connectors are made of high-quality materials and connect securely. The cable as a whole just looks and feels good. The cable actually looks like DP1.4. I don't have the best graphics card or the best 8k monitor so I can only test it. However, a resolution of…

I finished building a new case and installed my Windows PC elsewhere. The cable I used previously (which came with the monitor) was about three inches shorter. I decided to play it safe a bit in the future and bought this 3 meter long one so I won't have to upgrade the cable anytime soon even if I upgrade my graphics card/monitor. It seems very well put together, including three smart little cables. Clips (which I had already reassigned elsewhere) and they were a snap to install. Actually, I…

I'm a big Displayport fan in general, but up until now I've always wished the connectors on these premium braided cables weren't as big and popping out as when they're plugged in. This is less of a problem with a monitor where the cables are usually connected "above" and the DP port is not additionally stressed, but with a PC where the cable is inserted horizontally this can lead to stress on the connector. connector, not to mention the extra clearance required to match the cable's bend radius.
