Review on DisplayPort Capshi Thunderbolt2 Projector More Gray by Dakota Afzalian

Revainrating 4 out of 5

4K Support

This Capshi 6.6" Mini DP to HDMI Cable supports 4Kx2K at 30 Hz. Cable with gold-plated interface, aluminum jacket and a flexural strength of 15,000+. I've been using this cable with my Alienware computer for over a month to output 4000 images to an external monitor. What I liked most about this Capshi Mini DP to HDMI cable: - Thunderbolt - HDMI - Nylon braid - Gray color scheme. My least favorite things about this Capshi Mini DP to HDMI cable: - No bi-directional support. This means you cannot use this cable to connect an HDMI source to a Mini DisplayPort monitor. 30Hz vs. 60Hz. Why does this cable only support 30Hz? This is normal for some basic tasks, but useless for gaming. Questionable flex rating. In one area, Capshi states that the bend rating is 35000+, in another that the bend rating is 15000+. Is it true? All in all, if you're looking for a 4k mini display port to HDMI cable and want something that doesn't clash with your silver/white setup, then this cable might suit your needs. The cable should be long enough for most setups and will allow 4k images to be transferred. It is important to know what you actually need this cable for? When it comes to gaming, this cable only delivers 30Hz so you won't have a good gaming experience, especially at FPS. There's no bi-directional support either, and there's uncertainty about the cable's flex strength. However, this cable works great in my setup, which includes using Mini DisplayPort on my Alienware PC to get images on my ultra-wide Samsung monitor. 4.0 out of 5.0.Overall

Pros
  • Mirror/Extend Mode
