Designed to link modern laptops and tablets to high-resolution external monitors with high refresh rates and HDR support. UGREEN USB C to DisplayPort Cable suits gamers, video editors and anyone who needs smoother motion and truer colours. Does that meet the demands of 8K panels and high-refresh gaming displays?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Image Quality: Supports up to 8K@60Hz with HDR and HDCP2.3 for richer colours and higher contrast
  • Best for: Gamers and creative professionals needing high refresh rates and accurate colour
  • Not ideal for: Older laptops without USB-C DP Alt Mode or non-Thunderbolt ports

DisplayPort 1.4 cable with 32.4Gbps bandwidth, HDR, HDCP2.3 and eARC support. Triple shielding and reinforced nylon braid increase longevity and reduce interference.


Crisper, smoother visuals - thanks to DisplayPort 1.4 and 32.4Gbps bandwidth

DP 1.4 utilises 32.4Gbps total bandwidth to carry higher resolutions and refresh rates, enabling 8K@60Hz or higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. HDR and HDCP2.3 handling maintain colour depth and content protection across compatible displays.

High-resolution editing and fast-paced gaming benefit from reduced motion blur and more accurate colour reproduction.

More responsive gaming - with FreeSync, G-Sync, VRR and ALLM support

Support for adaptive sync technologies and low-latency modes synchronises frame delivery between host and monitor, reducing tearing and input lag where supported by the host and display.

Competitive play feels smoother and stutter is reduced on monitors that support variable refresh rates.

Durable, reliable connection - with triple shielding, aluminium shell and nylon braid

Triple shielding and tinplate reduce electromagnetic interference while an aluminium alloy shell helps heat dissipation; a braided nylon jacket adds mechanical strength rated for over 16,000 bends.

Frequent plugging, travel and mobile use are better tolerated, keeping signals stable over long-term use.
