Even in that scenario it will complicate the setup. Now your Roku will also have to also power your TV? No, any sane setup will have a separate power cable for the TV.
I think it’s aimed at TVs in general, not computer monitors. Many people mount their TVs to the wall, and having a single cable to run hidden in the wall would be awesome.

I don’t think you’d ever have a peripheral power the tv. The use case I’m envisioning is power and data going to the panel via this single connector from a base box that handles AC conversion, as well as input (from Roku etc) and output (to soundbar etc.). Basically standardizing what some displays are already doing with proprietary connectors.

In wall power cables need to be rated for it to prevent fire risks. This will need to have thick insulation or be made of a fire resistant material.

I wonder what the use case is for 480W though. Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W. If you’re going bigger than that, I would think the mounting/installation would require enough hardware and labor that running out a normal outlet/receptacle would be trivial.

In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks

My 50" 1080p LCD draws over 200w…

Headroom and safety factor. Current screens may draw 120w, but future screens may draw more, and it is much better to be drawing well under the max rated power.

Sound for an 80" screen? Not for home systems.

Most OLED HDR TVs peak at over 300W.
