Your assumption is that it's a Cartesian coordinate system with 90° angles. But that's not necessarily the case. You can apply a sheer transformation to correct for the unusual appearance. When you do that, the angles change, but straight lines stay straight and parallels stay parallel. There's a mathematical term for that, which I can't remember right now.

Not sure what these internal connections are, but Displayport is both a plug and a protocol. You can use the protocol over thunderbolt and maybe other connections as well.

It depends on the displayport version. DP 1.2 only supports 4k. DP 1.4 supports more. So if it's an older display that only supports DP 1.2, you have to use the two screens hack. I never tried that, though.

And Tesla shareholders just gave Musk a $56 billion bonus. Money well spent!
