Undeniably The BEST Cables On The Market
Verified Purchase
These are by far the highest quality, best value, visually appealing, and most versatile cables I have ever purchased. They have long, easy to grip, handles on each end making it a breeze to unplug, and plug back in - no matter how hard they are to reach with my setup, and that’s NOT to say they form a lose fit/connection. They have found the perfect balance of passive resistance/effort to plug/unplug them from my monitors and displaylink adapter, and the cherry on top has to be the thick nylon braided cable; Its elegant, rugged, feels nice to the touch, and each cable comes with a super simple, but incredibly useful cable management tieback. With that level of detail and care, Starware cables has became my new, go-to, cable brand!!!

Pros:
* Product delivered is as advertised (or BETTER)
* Super affordable (2 Premium Cables for roughly the same price as a single lower quality one)
* Excellent picture quality
* Beautiful design
* Feels Solid, yet Flexible
* Each Cable Comes with reusable Cable Tie for convenient length adjustments or cable management

Cons: They are so fantastically priced, designed, produced, and delivered that I felt compelled to spend time and energy writing my first review for a purchased item!..
 
Gets 1440p @ ~144Hz as advertised! Great for GTX 1070 gaming!
Verified Purchase
Just got it hooked up. Cable construction is nice and the pattern on the cable makes for easy identification for cable tracing in wire runs under desk and for any others out there with desks with multi monitor setups with lots of cables for speakers, networking, peripherals, etc. Gets 143Hz as recognized by Windows (the same as my other displayport cable).

The only miss is that they don't offer a 10ft and 15ft cable as of the time of writing so one could run the same set of cables for all monitors in a triple monitor 27'' setup as its just too long a distance from my tower to the farther monitors going through a clean cable management channel under the desk.
 
DisplayPort is finicky
Verified Purchase
I switched from using DVI and just discovered how finicky DisplayPort can be. These cables were working fine for a few days then one day I was getting a no input message from my monitors. I thought these were bad cables and went through the return process and received a new set. I still received the error and discovered others with the same DisplayPort issue. What fixed my issue was physically unplugging my monitors and plugging them back in. This seems to be a common issue when using DisplayPort. I am not sure why, but it is not the cables. I was almost close to returning my graphics card but thankfully I found this fix.
 
Blown Away by Quality
Verified Purchase
As an IT professional I have used a lot of display cables in my time. I most commonly use what PC manufactures send out with monitors and whatnot. When I received these display cables I was blown away at the quality. By far the best display cable I've ever used. Metal ends, and stiff rigid braided cable. Thick as well. I was so impressed, I ordered another set and sent a link to a few friends also in need of a good display cable. Next time I'm in need, I'll be looking at these same cables.
 
High Quality DisplayPort Cable
Verified Purchase
These Starware cables have a study high quality feel. Package comes with 2. They are wrapped in fabric and have heavy ends with cable protection. The ends fit in snug. As you can see from the photo, the ends are longer than most. This isn't a problem for me, but something to consider if you have limited distance behind your monitor or computer system. Both cables had a built in removable velcro strap that helps tidy up cable runs. A nice bonus!
 
Excellent quality and value
Verified Purchase
This STARWARE 6 ft DisplayPort 1.2 Cable (2 pack) is a quality product based on my initial observations and use. I'm using one to connect my new computer & 3070 video card to a 2k monitor and running it at 2560 x 1440 resolution at 165 hz, and it works flawlessly. The cables are thick and won't curl up on you, and they were very nicely packaged. I was impressed with the quality when I opened the box, and the same with their performance.
 
Decent, would buy again
Verified Purchase
Got a new ultra wide monitor, and my old GPU would not recognize the right resolution via HDMI no matter what I tried. Got these to see if I would have better luck, and it did the trick. Should make it work well enough for me to get by till GPUs start selling for retail rather then scalp pricing. Cable is nice, seems well made. Would buy again.
 
Sturdy Feel, holding up 4mo In
Verified Purchase
These have been great. The aluminum enclose makes them feel sturdy and durable (may just be visual). I’ve been using them more about 4mo now and so far so good.

One note is that these do not have the manual unlock button that many DP cables have. These just pull out of the port like hdmi’s do.
 
Perfect for 3 display Mac Hub
Verified Purchase
* I bought this to attach my Samsung monitor to support 3rd display on my hub.
* Both ends are Display port.
* If your monitor and Hub support 4K then this will pass 4K display else it gives a 2K display.
 
Great value, great cables
Verified Purchase
These cables are built very well and came in at a very good price point. They work perfectly with my desktop, so I can’t complain. Looking forward to getting to try these with a new monitor I’ve ordered for my laptop.
