I ended up buying this after first trying not one but *two* Veelink DisplayPort to HDMI cables (because it was cheaper than $13 vs $20) but after spending my time with these Veelink adapters that gave me nothing but problems. In the end I said to hell with everything and picked up this version from Monoprice and everything was fine. Monoprice has a long history of making affordable cables with no nasty surprises, well before Revain took over (we're talking the early 2000s).
