If your laptop has USB-C it most likely already has DP out.

Your TV? message the manufacturer. tell your friends to message the manufacturer. Demand DisplayPort on TVs. Be the change you want to see in the world.

For some reason I always miss this. I checked in software and at least arandr says I have 4 DP Outs. Presumably 2 per USB-C port? I don't know how this actually works.

I think past thunderbolt 4 you get 2 displays daisy chained off of one port. I have a thunderbolt 5 port and I run 2 4k monitors off of it

Thanks! I'm gonna try and find a USB-to-DP cat'o'tails I can buy for cheap to see what happens.
