As I sit at my computer screen a lot for work and it can be a little crowded on the digital desk before I had eventually bought a WQHD screen with a correspondingly higher resolution than 1920x1280. (Two screens are not an option for me) I for another transmission medium need than an HDMI cable became aware only at the moment when my anticipation for the new device went down the drain. Thanks to Amazon Prime I have the next day received this cable and since my MacBook Pro mid 2009 works without problems with my screen together. The resolution is a pleasure. I must mention yet: I've only caused office use it. As for the transmission during rapid games with more than 30 FPS, I can not make any statement, since I still use a PC for this purpose connected via dual DVI. For any work with code, creative as Photoshop or Illustrator, word processing, spreadsheet or presentation creation, the cable is ideally suited to produce resolutions of 2560x1440 pixels on which you can work excellently.
