Do Mini Displayport Cables Work With Monitor

WOW! I bought a fancy new LG monitor here at B&H to use as an external monitor for my 2017ish upgraded MacBook Air. This was a recommended product I tossed in my shopping cart because of its mention of the Mini DisplayPort connectivity. THRILLED I did because it came a day after my new monitor ... and in the mean time, I tried two other cords I had lying around with rather bogus results: 1) Old cord #1 was a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 1 version) to HDMI — Fuzzy as heck but no lag or mouse-move jitter 1) Old cord #2 was HDMI to HDMI cord fitted with Mini DisplayPort adapter — Crystal clear but horrifically laggy and jittery display Obviously I'm not technical but I recommend buying this cable even if you have various options in your electronics junk drawer at home that you think will work ... they might not!

We have a new Mac Mini and an Intel NUC, and we use these cables to connect them to DisplayPort monitors. The DisplayPort connector is latchless, but it fits and connects securely (latches are optional for DisplayPort connections). These have been very reliable for us, and they are VESA compliant. We have used them with many different DisplayPort monitors (including an multi-stream MST setup), and they work excellently.

On my mac mini 2018 with a 4k monitor, I swapped an HDMI to HDMI cable with this thunderbolt to displayport cable. Huge difference! Before, the entire display was sluggish and unresponsive. Now, the picture is sharp, and the UI is smooth and responsive.

We purchased this cable for use with a new monitor. We've never used a Mini DisplayPort connection before, but it is working well with no issues whatsoever. The cable seems to be of very good quality, and I especially appreciate the solid connection with the PC interface and the monitor. The product description indicates its use for MacBook products and HDTV, but we use for a PC to monitor connection

If you're trying to connect your MB Air to a wide format monitor using Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI, it won't work. The resolution is too much and will looked terrible. This cable is the ONLY solution and is very inexpensive. Simple hookup between MBA to LG 29 widescreen display.

I had it plugged into my computer and then used a gigaware adapter to convert from Mini DisplayPort into DisplayPort (which is what my monitor had available). This adapter worked fine from my usb-c enabled iMac and MacBook too, into an older 24 inch Samsung monitor at monitor's resolution (2560x1440).

Works well with my home and work monitors (Mini DisplayPort for home, HDMI for work), and I can even use two monitors at the same time. My external hard drive works well with it and transfers from it to my computer are fast. When I got my MacBook, I thought I’d have to buy everything all new again, but with this, I don’t have to spend all that extra money. What else can you ask for?

There are probably other USB-C to DisplayPort cables that will work fine with Eizo monitors but, as far as I know, StarTech's is the only one that Eizo has tested and approved. I use mine to connect a CG2420 to a MacBook Pro. It works perfectly.

Do just what they should. Solid, reliable cables.

I bought two of these about a month ago.  These are used as a dual monitor setup for work (90%) and gaming (10%). The monitors are perfect for work and I really like the 1920x1200 resolution after coming from a 1920x1080. These monitors have a refresh rate of 75hz which I consistently hit when playing games (GTX 1660, 75 fps). They also have adaptive synch (e.g. FreeSynch) which works with Nvidia over DisplayPort. The stands are much better than I expected. They allow for a wide range of vertical adjustment, they swivel, tilt and can rotate from landscape to portrait. Acer anti-flicker and bluelight are part of the package. They also have USB 3.0 pass-through (two USB ports on left side of the monitor. They come with all cables: DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, 3.5mm audio.  Finally, it is Vesa mount compatible. The speakers are exactly what you would/should expect in a monitor. They work fine but are far from ideal. Im extremely happy with these and I think they are tough to beat for the price.  Throw in the 3 year warranty and it makes it tough to pass when compared to other IPS monitors in the price/resolution/size range.
