It is just a cable, so not sure what else to write here. It does what it supposed to to.
Good, do what I want, perfect

I bought this cable to connect my Macbook Air (11 inches mid 2013) with my old Imac 27 (mid 2009) and use as target display. The cable is perfect and what you need is plug the cable and just press command F2. The item description say it does not work but it works perfect but only with 2009 and 2010 Imac with display port not with newer Imacs with thunderbolt port. If you need a cable for this use is perfect, no flicker, good image and you have a new us for your old Imac. The folder says "It does not support Target Display Mode" but is this particular case (old Imac 2009) this is the cable that you need for target display mode.
Work flawlessly on 27" iMac (late 2009) with MBP 13" Late 2012 and MBP 13" 2019 (USB-C)

I need an additional external monitor since we are WFH now. I have this 27" iMac laying around for a long time. I did some googling and found that it can be used as an external display. I tried Thunderbolt cable but it didn't work. After some additional research, looks like I do need a mini DP cable. I found this cable on Amazon and ordered it immediately. It arrived within 2 days. I booted the iMac, leaved it on (at sign in screen), connected my MBP 13" (late 2012), and and the iMac became an external display right away. It worked! Later, I connected my newer MBP13" (2019) using a USB-C to mini DP adapter. It worked right away as well. I am super happy, since this is so much cheaper than buying a new 27" monitor!
Worked on first try

Worked connecting portable external monitor to Surface for portable office work!
Good quality for the price, possibly not great if you're planning to plug/unplug the cable frequently (laptop usage).

Below you'll find my original review which I gave two stars on. Cable Matters reached out and gave me a replacement cable which did in fact show that my original cable was simply defective. After trying the replacement cable out for a week, I haven't experienced the same issues I had been seeing. When comparing the cables, it is obvious that my original cable had a defective terminal on one side, it was strangely loose, which I believe likely means a wire may be frayed due to repeated flexing, and that led to my monitor being disconnected randomly. I think it is likely since the terminal connectors are slightly longer than most connectors, by 0.5-1mm, which allows pressure to be put onto the terminal and cause this issue. I've reinforced my new cable slightly with a small amount of glue to hold the terminal to the black housing which helps put more of the pressure on the entire cable instead of the terminal itself. I'm not sure how this will work out long term, but it'll likely work for for awhile.
My original review:
Usually Cable Matters is good quality, however this cable is not. It's terminals are poorly designed, creating a very loose connection which results in my monitor being disconnected frequently. And while it does support 4k resolutions, the lose connection causes a lot of odd results. I've had to disable DP 1.2 to prevent things from acting up too much, but I'm just going to replace this low end cable with something a bit better quality so I can use 4k without issues.
