From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So my question is how many people are there who have a TV old enough to have no display ports but be of that outrageous specification

As far as I know no consumer TV has Display port.

I bought a TV maybe 2-3 years ago that supports 4K@120 and it doesn't have a display port, only HDMI.
