5m Display Port Cable Help

Fluke · 16 Jan 2017 at 22:07

I have an Acer X34a Predator monitor on my new sim rig and need to run a 5m display port cable capable of 144hz to it. I have tried a couple of cables and both work for a short period before my screen goes blank and this is just on the desktop screen.

Can anyone reccomend me a 5m cable that will work over that distance?

Did you have any joy finding one? I am looking a quality 3m display port cable

I was having ussies with my x34 with a long DP too ( flickering and black screens )...so at the moment I'm using the one that came with the monitor....would be nice to have a longer one that worked though

I've tried a few and had similar issues. Finally settled on a Lindy 5m CROMO DisplayPort cable. I'm running at 2560x1440 @ 144hz tho. Your extra bandwidth for 3440x1440 might be an issue with any cable that length. If you check the reviews for this model you'll notice a number of people with similar requirements having tried various other cables too.
