Cable Connector Flex

The connector should have a solid fitment and have no flex or wiggle when fitted to a monitor. 

Front and Back

Confirm the connector is plugged into the monitor. 
While holding the BASE of the connector PUSH the connector towards the back of monitor. 
While holding the BASE of the connector PULL the connector away the back of monitor. 
Notice if the TOP of the connector moves, if it does then you may have a damaged connector.

Examples of flex movement: 

Left and Right

As above, holding the base of the connector, rotate the connector clockwise and counterclockwise. 
There will be slight movement, but any more than a few millimeters could mean a damaged connector.
