What arrived was definitively what mCable classifies as their "Legacy" - or first generation - cable (pictured exactly as you see in the images for the drop). Not the latest, 3rd gen gaming/cinema cables. Not the 2nd gen "Ultra" (gold sheath) cable. (Worth noting though that the marketing on the back of the box states, "...our third generation processing technology." So who knows how much random shenanigans is afoot?)
I'm trying to get my hands on a few different components to test the cable, but might not have them in-hand for another week or so. Once I do, I'll try to post some comparison stills and testing method to help out. (Maybe that belongs in the new "Reviews" section?)
would love a display port version for my monitors... with the ability to turn gaming/cin mode on/off...
In truth, I'd prefer they spend less time refining the visual quality (it's already pretty good), and more time figuring out how to reduce the overall cost.
As for display port: by the time you hit the output of the cable, the processing should already be done, right? In theory then, there isn't anything stopping you from tacking on an adapter to DisplayPort, DVI, or whatever. It's an interesting thought. If I can find some kind of adapter laying around in one of my many cable bins of shame, I'll try testing this out.
