That's a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?
PCs can use >1KW.
I don't know why you'd power a PC over DisplayPort though. New 8k monitors do go up to 190W, so we could exceed 240W if we try hard enough.
A full PC, no, but a set top box definitely yes. And a set top box is plenty of computing power for a thin client, think workstations for accountants.
Why accountants specifically?
Any complex data stuff they could need should be done on some database server, the rest of what they're doing can be done by anything that can deal with minesweeper.
