    Update: Club 3D's new cable.

    _________________________________________________

    I would like to buy a display cable to connect between a laptop and a TV.

    What I want:

    - A complete cable.
    - Male Displayport 1.2 - male HDMI 2.0.
    - About 3 m / 10' long.
    - 3840 x 2160 resolution.
    - 60 Hz refresh rate.
    - 4:4:4 chroma sampling.

    What I don't want:

    - An adapter that requires an additional cable.
    - Mini or micro variants of the connectors.



    Maybe it doesn't even exist, does anyone know?

    The one in your link has the wrong connector and too low resolution. ;)
    I thank you for trying though.

    Interesting, so if I'm planning on hooking my laptop to a 144 Hz I could have some issues? Looks like I have more homework to do, lol. Perhaps I need to go back look for some kind of display port switch if I want to use my monitor for both my laptop and desktop. Those were kind of pricey though.

    It's a 144Hz 1440p with Gsync.

    From what I gather, you won't have any issues connecting the display to your laptop, full resolution, 144 Hz and G-sync.

    I thought that laptop is faster than your desktop? I mean, do you really use both?

    I do use both, I'm on the road 60%, of the time and I like my 27" 1440p monitor. This is the first time I have had a laptop that was more powerful then my desktop and I find in interesting to see how it would run my desktop setup and possibly hand down my desktop to my son and only have my laptop, I could add another HDD to my HTPC for backup and I would be all set.
