I'm looking to buy a DisplayPort cable that's over 5 meters for my 240Hz ultrawide monitor, and I'm a bit confused. I read that going for a cheap $25 cable might lead to issues like black screens, and I've seen recommendations for $130 cables. Should I invest in the expensive one, or would the cheaper option work fine?

Keep in mind that you usually don’t get DisplayPort cables longer than 3 meters without some potential issues. Beyond that, it really depends on whether you have an active cable, and even then, it's a bit of a gamble depending on the monitor. Reputable vendors might try to mislead with their certifications, so stay cautious with brands. If you have a 3440x1440 240Hz monitor, you might be fine; however, for 4K 240Hz, it could get tricky.
