or digital TV that has the HDMI port.

The DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface used to connect a display device such as a
computer monitor. It is used to transmit audio and video simultaneously. The interface, which is
developed by VESA, delivers higher performance features than any other digital interface. DP++
is supported by the system board for converting to DVI and HDMI signals.
