I'm having a tough time finding a proper cord to connect my PC to my TV. I need something that supports 4K HDR at a minimum of 144Hz and is at least 15 feet long. I'm looking specifically for a DisplayPort to HDMI cable or an adapter that would meet these requirements. The search has been frustrating, with so much irrelevant info popping up everywhere. If you have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it!

First, make sure your TV has an HDMI 2.1 port. That's crucial for achieving 4K at 144Hz over HDMI. If it doesn't, no matter how good the cable is, it won't work as intended since only a few TVs come with those ports.
You might want to look into fiber optic cables. For a 15-foot length, standard cables can lose signal quality. Fiber optics can maintain better performance over longer distances, which is something to think about!
Just a heads-up: you'll need both devices to support HDMI 2.1 or newer, and look for a cable that has at least 40 Gbit/s. Given your refresh rate and HDR needs, you'll probably want to invest in a premium cable to ensure everything works smoothly.
What TV and video card are you using? Getting that combo right is important for compatibility with your 4K setup. Also, if your source is only 1440p, you might not even need a cable that supports 4K, so consider your actual needs.
