Need new cable for 4k 240hz monitor need advice

[missing1981]

Hi. I am from the UK.

I have just ordered a MPG 321URX QD-OLED

https://www.msi.com/Monitor/MPG-321URX-QD-OLED

And I need a display port cable. That is 5 metres long. And can broadcast 4K at 240 Hertz

Do you have any suggestions as there are so many out there

 

Thanks

The monitor should come with one.

Or you need exactly 0.5m ?

 

 

Also - nice choice of monitor.

I assume the period is a typo and they are saying 5m long.  In which case, I'd get an optical cable.

Like I said, I'd get optical as copper cables of that length can be sketchy and more importantly tend be quite thick and heavy.

 

I've had the monitor port start to fail due to thick cables before.  I've also not had a single random drop-out since switching to optical, used to happen with copper.

For a new monitor why is it 

dp 1.4a not 2.1

 

1 x DisplayPort 1.4a
2 x HDMI™ 2.1 (4K@240Hz)
1 x Type-c (DP alt.) w/PD 90W

Then something like this I guess.

First, because DP 1.4 has more than enough bandwidth to support the resolution and refresh rate when using DSC, which is a visually lossless compression format.

 

Second, because except for the very latest generation of AMD GPUs, all GPUs on the market only have DP 1.4 ports.
