Rankie Mini DisplayPort Cable Ready Reviews Summary

Connection Quality

Pros:

• "The “Mini DisplayPort” end fits perfectly into the Thunderbolt 1 port and the HDMI end obviously fits perfectly into the HMDI port on my monitor."
• "The microsoft surface miniport display is connected to the samsung screen hdmi with no issue. My daughter can now work with 2 screen."
• "Super simple - just plugged it in to my Macbook and the TV. Picture and sound were perfect."
• "Connecting a Surface Pro to my T. V. worked perfectly."
• "cord transmits picture and sound, i love it."
• "Needed to extend signal to an external LG monitor from a very old Macbook. Signal was detected right away. No complaints at all."
• "Does exactly what I wanted it to do. Fantastic picture quality."

Cons:

• "Worked well for a few months. Then it stopped working occasionally and would have to pull it in and out again. Until it just stopped working altogether."
• "I purchased this cable to replace a shorter cable since I relocated my Z27s HP monitor to the other side of the desk. Unfortunately, this 6ft long cable from Rankie did not work at all."
• "Worked fine the first month and then it slowly started to lose picture quality."
• "Bought the 3-foot version of this cable to connect my older Macbook Pro to a Dell monitor. It stopped working after just 6 months."
• "The maximum resolution for a mac pro 5,1 is 1920x1080, It could not produce 4k into the HDMI port of my asus 2019 gaming display."
• "Cable worked great for the first six months. Now today it completely stopped working."
• "The HDMI end is not fit for regular HDMI end. I had to throw away about 10 cables out of the 40."

Build Quality & Design

Pros:

• "The wire is great quality. Thick and not cheap."
• "Fits very snugly, highly suggest being careful when inserting or removing the cable."
• "Beautifully packaged, you would think it is a luxury item."
• "Very well made. 4G rated. Mini DP to HDMI cable/adapter."
• "It has a nice and discreet design, which is good if you want to have it in the middle of the desk."
• "The cable is thinner than other monitor cables I've used and can bend cleanly to fit behind desks and into cable organizers."
• "This cable, so far, seems better quality."

Cons:

• "Mini DP plug is a very tight fit."
• "Ends of cable have longer than necessary plastic housing......you don't realize until you try and connect on a tv with small area for HDMI cable!"
• "The mini DP end would not plug into my Surface 3."
• "Only thing I am not enamored with is the cable thickness, and therefore the weight, of the cable."
• "However the molded ends on these cables are very large so it was too big to plug in because of the case I have on my Surface."
• "The end caps are not molded plastic so they feel a bit cheap."
• "The HDMI part sticks out farther than just a plug would, so it wouldn't sit flush against a wall."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For under $10, my super old computer now has a giant display!"
• "This cable made it so much easier to connect my monitor and laptop without sacrificing picture quality."
• "Good price, great quality, so simple!"
• "Guess for the money though that you get what you pay for!"
• "Do not be one of those people who pays a hundred dollars for a cable. Please. There is no reason to support these products."
• "Great length, quality and is brilliant for the price."
• "Compared to the product prices at the stores this was a great deal as long as the consumer is willing to wait a day for it to be delivered."

Cons:

• "Then all of a sudden it just stopped working today. Very strange since it did not get dragged or strained."
• "I guess you get what you pay for."
• "I'm going to throw this out and get a true mini displayport to displayport cable."
• "Picture and connection good for 6 months and then, it just stopped working."
• "I don't have time to return this POS."
• "This will not allow resolution above HD at 24hz. Absolutely terrible."
• "Cheap quality and worthless after a month of use. Do not buy this if you want a durable product."

Customer Service & Warranty

Pros:

• "Customer service agreed to send me a replacement cable. Hopefully this one lasts longer."
• "The shipping was on-time with good packaging."
• "Great packaging that comes with a warranty card."
• "If you use the warranty card, you get a lifetime replacement guarantee from the company."
• "Registered for the lifetime warranty."
• "Packaging was excellent, useful lifetime warranty."
• "Product arrived from the us to Dubai fairly quickly.. everything as described and both packaging and product looks high quality."

Cons:

• "I purchased item in 2018. Did not work first time I tried to. Tried on various devices, no luck. Must of been defective from new. Seller didn't feel obligated to replace."
• "plugged in and my lap top could not be detected. I called customer service and got a full refund."
• "I'm concerned that my laptop mini dp connection will break if I forced it in."
• "One of the ends came apart, not happy but at least I have a backup."
• "It stopped working after only a couple of weeks. It started to get VERY hot and then stopped working entirely."
• "Product works just fine. I’m giving 3 stars because the packaging is ridiculously wasteful. The plastic inside isn’t recyclable either."
• "The build quality of the cable is good so no complaints there. However, I feel the seller may be intentionally misleading buyers by leaving out of the description that this cable does not support 4K 60Hz."
