That does seem to be the point. The purpose of the system would be for the computer to send the data to the display, which would then render it and display it on screen. There would be no need for any video signal from the computer at all, negating any concern for what Displayport does and does not support. The data would be carried via PCIe, just as it is inside a desktop computer. The GPU inside the display would take over from there.

The only difference between this system and a desktop would be PCIe over TB, rather than PCIe via a slot. Otherwise, the tech is identical—and just as fast.
