£16.06 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £13.50 ex-VAT, this is a pretty sensible pick if you’ve got a Mini DisplayPort laptop/PC and you just need a straightforward, reliable lead to a monitor. The “8K/60Hz + 4K/120Hz” type wording is always a bit marketing-heavy, but in practice what matters is whether it holds up for high refresh/clean signal—this one is the right kind of cable for those setups. I’d buy this for office desks, docking stations, and mixed small-business AV where people don’t want random flicker/handshake issues and you’d rather pay for something you can trust than gamble on a generic cable.
That said, I wouldn’t get excited if you’re buying it for a legacy MiniDP-to-older HDMI/DP adapter chain and expecting miracles. Also, it’s only 2m—fine for most desk layouts, but if you’re crossing rooms or mounting monitors with more distance, you’ll end up wishing you’d gone longer. Bottom line: worth it for typical UK office B2B monitor connections with MiniDP, and good value at this price; not worth it if you need a specialist run length or you’re not actually going to benefit from higher refresh capabilities.
