Tldr; This article reads like my own particular preferred brand of copium.
Nvidia Tried this with BFG (Big Format gaming Displays) but most of them never made it to market. I think Microcenter carried one model and it was expensive for what you were getting. Back in those days having the nvidia gsync sticker easily double the price of any monitor and making it a ~60" tv wasn’t an exception.
I can’t be the only person who wants display port but I fear this must have to do with the HDMI Forum being the current cable standard mafia and supporting anything other than HDMI is like giving up an inch of the total control they have over the TV industry. They (Sony, Phillips, Toshiba, Hitachi, etc) are effectively colluding against TV buyers and controlling the market and eliminating competition.
With that being said, the USB-C port on these TVs has been around and Ive seen other reviewers show that the high sense implementation is not the panacea (yet) that gamers desire. Its more for like, plugging in your Macbook to your TV.
Still, if this TV came out tomorrow and Wendell from Level1techs said “your Linux pc can get 4k, 120hz, HDR FreeSync out of this” and showed it working, $3500 dollars wouldn’t stop me from buying it.

I wish I was this rich to impulse buy something that expensive because a man on the internet said something positive abouti t.
A lot of us skip several upgrade opportunities and just keep saving for something decent that works well with our OS.
Heck, I went over ten years on my last CPU and mobo because I was waiting for the predicted amdgpu nirvana that we have now.
My TV is no different. I’ve had the same, dumb, 1080p IPS since 2012. Just waiting for a tv that’s worth it.
So yeah, if the ideal tv launches at 3k, I’ll buy it without a doubt.
I have that money saved from when I didn’t leap to 3d, when I didn’t leap to OLED and when I didn’t leap to 4k.

Well, you see, when you know and understand Linux well, your chances to become rich are increasingly higher.
Coincidence?
Surely not.
