That stuff doesn't matter, except you're a fool to buy one that costs more than 10 bucks. Make sure you get one that will suit your needed length and get a cheapie on Amazon...Or be an ultra-cheapo like me and get one from China off ebay for 3-4 bucks.

What i'm trying to say is I cant find any on amazon that have more then 30 reviews so I can't tell if they're rips and not really hdmi 2.0's, or if HDMI 2.0 is relatively new

Displayport or HDMI 2.0 are the only support means of 1440p@144hz on that display. I doubt you'd notice a difference between them.

Yes as it is DP 1.2 compatible.

Don't worry about reviews unless the majority are 1 star. Cables are marked up heavily at pretty much every brick/nortar store because it;s a gold mine for them, and one of the biggest scams in electronics. I've never EVER gotten a bad cable, sight unseen from China. If you're constantly plugging them in and out etc the connection will go bad over time, so don't. But chances are you're fine at ten bucks. There's some discount amazon brand, I forget it's name, that will be more than adequate. The only time you've ever got to spend more money on cable stuff is if it's high end audio components or you're a rich snob. As an earlier poster indicated, you're not going to notice any diff, and that includes whether you spend 10 or 500 bucks on the same kind/length of cable. eos
