Pros: It works. I'm using this to connect a Mac with a mini-Display Port connection to an Asus PB278Q monitor. The monitor has inputs for DVI(dual-link), VGA, HDMI, and Display Port, but no combination of cables and adapters (such as HMDI to dual-link DVI) will allow the monitor to go into its highest resolution of 2560 x 1440; it'll go into a lesser resolution. The only cable that works is a true mini-Display Port to Display Port cable.

Cons: Notwithstanding that it works, it's not 100% reliable. Sometimes when I reboot the Mac, the monitor still sometimes chooses a resolution lower than 2560 x 1440.

Other Thoughts: I did find a 100% reliable solution. I actually bought 2 of these cables: a white one (the model being reviewed, item# N82E16815158320CVF) and a black one (item# N82E16815158227). The black one looks identical except for the color, it's the same length, and made by the same supplier (StarTech), but the black one is more expensive and more reliable. I'll concede that I'm looking at a sample set of 2, and the difference in reliability might be due to manufacturing variation. But if I decide to buy more, I'll buy the black version of this cable.

Pros: From Small to large Display port in 3.3 Feet or one meter. Plug and play
connect your video card to Display port on your monitor

Cons: Non at all.

Other Thoughts: Its a cable and Specialized. I used it to get a 3rd HQ signal to my third monitor. Very good quality and just enough length to get the job done. The white color is nice and clean and easy to distinguish when routing wires to the devices.
