Is there a good source of cheap long Displayport 1.4 cables? I really don't fancy paying the $298 these people charge for a 5m cable. I'm assuming there's a cheap Chinese alternative, right?

Paging @Daniel - LG as this must surely affect your larger monitors.
I've had severe problems with copper cables of 3m or more. While you won't notice issues on a standard 1080p display, I sure notice them on my 4K and 3440x1440 displays. And note that while they say they are DP 1.4 if you dive into the specs, most are really only DP 1.2. I want a cable that will do 4k @ 120 + Hz and 3440x1440 @ 120+ Hz. Lindy do their gold line up to 5m but even that is over £80.
Well yes. Check the first picture. The product listing is clear that it's a DP 1.4 cable with all the capabilities thereof. What arrived was what was in the second picture, a cable labelled as being a DP 1.2 cable. Anyway, the replacement will be here tomorrow.
And the product listing was incorrect because the second cable was also a DP 1.2 cable. I've got a 10m optical cable coming from China at huge expense. I have discovered an Italian source for a mere €99 but their website won't let me order.
