As long as it's not like VGA or another analog format, cables are a digital signal. For the most part its either it works or it doesn't. Length is a consideration if you're going like 50-100 feet, but you could get a powered cable or a signal booster in that case.
If you're doing higher framerate make sure the cables rated for that, but otherwise you're just paying for the physical build quality, ie, bending/unplugging-plugging frequently without damage
nah i would like to rock DP cables as thats just what im used to. is that better than goin hdmi?
LTT did a cable test and from the cables they tested the DP ones were more consistently good, while more of their hdmi cables were bad or not up to spec.
