is there anything to consider for display cables (self.pcmasterrace)

I need longer display cables for a better managed cable situation but I'm not entirely sure on what to buy.

I have an 160htz 2k Ultrawide and another 2k Ultrawide stacked on top of that. Does length matter? I have a standing desk too

I guess what Im wondering is, is there a recommended cable brand or just get whatever, and does length matter for performance?

Appreciate any assistance

While IN THEORY true, testing has revealed that there is definitely a number of cables that say they are rated for a certain spec, but don't actually meet the spec, so the signal can fail or deteriorate despite everything being within the stated spec. I would personally stay away from the random no name cables that are weirdly super cheap, and just stick with the more well known brands like monoprice or infinite cables
