Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought this to hook up my MacBook air to the external monitor. At first my monitor kept flashing black every few seconds and sometimes would stay black for a few seconds before resuming. I had no idea what the issue was but it was getting very annoying. I was troubleshooting from unhooking my cables, to restarting my laptop, to changing my laptop's settings, this and that, etc. etc. Nothing worked!! I didn't expect AmazonBasics to be an inferior brand, so I didn't suspect this title thing. In the end, I decided to swap this cable out with another Thunderbol and WAH-LAHHHH. Fixed the issue. This was the culprit of my flashing issues... so ended up returning it. Maybe this was just a faulty one.
