LINDY36483 3m DisplayPort 1.2 Cable, Anthra Line

Bought two new screens and had issues getting the correct refresh rate and resolution using HDMI to DP cables. I'm guessing the older ones didn't match the needed specifications.After some searching around it appears that DP cables support much higher resolutions than HDMI cables and as my GPU and my monitors both have DP connections it makes sense to use them.They arrive in a sealed Lindy bag and have caps to protect the connectors.The cable themselves are about 8mm in diameter and the connectors are moulded onto the end, they feel nice and sturdy and will hopefully stand the test of time.

Already owning good cables from Lindy, I went on purchasing this one. Unfortunately the quality is lower than the previous ones:- the cable jacket is of a different, less soft, material- the plastic cases of the connectors are again of a slightly different plastic and, most of all, the bottom/top halves are not well aligned- the cable is very very thick, other DP 1.4 compliant/certified cables are slimmer and work perfectly- the bag (intentionally?) doesn't indicate any standard, although I know it's a DP 1.2 cable and I'm fine with it; were they concerned that customers could find out it's not a 1.4 cable?- contrary to pretty much every cable out there, including other Lindy cables, there is no indication of the cable type/DP symbol, only the "Lindy" mark on both sides (wow, incredibly useful...).That said, the cable works as expected. However I have also tried to contact Lindy twice on another matter and never received a reply. No more (overpriced) cables from Lindy for me, thanks.

Should have trusted the reviews, this is a Display Port 1.2 cable NOT 1.4 as clearly advertised on the packaging on arrival. waste of my time having to send thes back.

Got stung by only receiving a 1.2 instead of 1.4 cable. This seems to be happening far too often to be a mistake. Poor poor show by the seller. Do not recommend.

Feels like a quality product, well priced
