DP to USB C

The cable has been pretty good in that it seems to be made durably in a strong rubber feeling material for how low it cost. The usb c portion sits snug making hard to accidentally pull out. The display port side also fits very strongly to the point where I pulling it out on purpose seemed impossible. The display port side has a clip that you press allowing for easy removal. The connection and picture quality has been solid with very minor fuzz once or twice, and was happy to find that it was compatible with my laptop as well as my phone for samsung dex.

I got this cable in the hopes that it would fix my issue where my 43" Samsung monitor would constantly go black at random times and frequency. I tried everything to fix it from adjusting video settings on the monitor and video card, upgrading all drivers, even calling Samsung support to replace the panel. Nothing worked. I was going from a High Speed HDMI 2.x (PC) to HDMI 2.0 (Monitor). After giving up and trying to ignore this issue for the past year, I couldn't take it anymore.I took a closer look at my connection options on my monitor and noticed that besides the HDMI connections, I also had a USB-C connector. I wasn't sure if it was for charging a USB-C device or if I could use it for video. I confirmed that it was "AlternateDP" capable and got excited that maybe I could use this connection to bypass HDMI altogether.So I immediately started my hunt for a DisplayPort to USB-C cable and found this one.After receiving the cable, I ran a test by opening YouTube using the original HDMI cable and sure enough, when I used the HDMI connection it would black out frequently. When I switched to the DP to USB-C cable, no black outs! It finally eliminated that issue. Yes, after dealing with this issue for over a year, the Angels sang and I sunk into my chair feeling victorious and let out a huge sigh of relief. It was over...One unexpected issue I saw when using the USB-C connection is that my original resolution of 3840x2160 had dropped to a maximum of 2560x1440. Luckily, I was able to go to the nVidia Control Panel and manually change it back using the "Custom" resolution options.All is good now and I'm very happy with this purchase.

I wanted to get a portable monitor for a variety of reasons, one to use with my portable devices (Steam Deck, Switch, laptops, etc) that have USB-C video output but two to use with my desktop systems when at LAN parties and gaming events. I looked for a portable monitor with DisplayPort and couldn't find one, pretty much all portable monitors on the market have USB-C and HDMI inputs only. Since I wanted a gaming monitor it needed to have variable refresh rate, and the HDMI implementation of VRR is awful compared to the DisplayPort implementation, especially on Linux, which is why I wanted DisplayPort capability in the first place.Luckily, USB-C video IS almost always DisplayPort, just over a different connector. However, it's hidden behind USB alt-mode capability, requiring some logic to switch the port into video mode and thus the existing USB-C to DisplayPort cable I had for connecting my laptop to a DisplayPort monitor wouldn't cut it. I needed a bidirectional cable. After trying one from another manufacturer that simply did not do anything, I bought this CableCreation one. Plugged it in and everything works exactly as expected. My NexiGo portable monitor shows up at full 144Hz refresh rate, VRR capable, and at full 2560x1600 resolution on my desktop's AMD Radeon RX7800XT graphics card.

This works to send 5K @ 60Hz and 10bit displayport signal to an Apple Studio Display from my PC's Nvidia 3060Ti (displayport out). Must buy the bidirectional version, "CableCreation 8K Bi-Directional USB C to DisplayPort Cable 6FT". Several other cables and adapters I tried did not work.I needed a longer cable so I used the 3 foot "Cable Matters DisplayPort to DisplayPort Extension Cable (DP to DP Extension Cable)". This combination worked perfectly. No flicker or signal loss at all.And yes, it is truely bi-directional. I tried it with my 12.9" M1 iPad Pro with USB-C to an older Dell monitor's display port in and it worked just fine.UPDATE: I have to lower my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars because I am getting random video artifacts on the screen - especially when watching 4K YouTube videos.Also, if you want access to the Studio Display's speakers, webcam, mics and USB-C hub (no hard drives), then I found the "WJESOG DisplayPort to USB C Cable 6.6ft 4K@60Hz with USB Cable Adapter" works great for these additional features. But I still get random video artifacts. I'll lower my YouTube settings from 4K to 1440p and see if that helps with throughput and video artifacts. Good luck everyone!

USB-C port: Samsung M8 (M80C) Smart MonitorPC DisplayPort: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 SuperLet me preface this with a disclaimer, as I can see from other reviews the bi-directional cable is a hit-or-miss: the usb-c port of my monitor is a specific type that enables something called “DP alt” mode (or DisplayPort alternate mode) which I believe is essential for this kind of cable to work. This wasn’t clearly advertised with my monitor, however. I assume DP supported usb-c ports is a newer technology I had to dig deep through some online-only documentation of my monitor’s specific model where I found a short reference to this feature noting it will only be enabled with newer cables.I was worried because this is the second brand I’ve tried for this kind of cable since the first one didn’t work, but I’m so happy I tried this one. Now I can finally use HDR mode without my PC crashing like it would with my HDMI-HDMI cable!
