I love that the author refers to Hisense as "it" rather than they. Corporations aren't people!

That particular use of grammar is normal in US English.
I live in Maryland and I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to a company as "it".

Hisense UR9 RGB, but note that the port is on the left bezel of the panel. Hopefully saved you a click.
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.
Well, you see, when you know and understand Linux well, your chances to become rich are increasingly higher.

Sounds great! I'll gladly pay $200usd for it.
I skimmed the article and didn't see any mention of price, but I expect it to be 10x what I'm willing to spend on a display.
Also if it's a smart tv I'm no longer interested at all.
Allmost all tvs are smart tvs these days, just never connect it to wifi and use external devices like an HTPC.
I expect it won't be long before they start including cellular modems.

Looks like it's $3500! 😬 Seems crazy to pay that much for a TV
Especially an off-brand like Hisense. My 65" LG OLED was only $1200
