Hdmi is hdmi. The cables, pins, all the same thing. Doesn't matter if it's the hdmi cable from the PS4, an aftermarket Monster cable or the cheapo that came with the TV. It's hdmi.
A cable is nothing more than a bunch of small wires. Power, signals, grounds doesn't matter, all the same wires, different colors. The only thing that matters is where they go. So if the connector puts power in the red wire, on the other end power comes out on the red pin. If the monitor is setup to receive data on the blue, and your gpu is wired wrong and puts power in the blue, you blow up the monitor.
Can a pc blow up a monitor? Absolutely yes. It stands as much chance as any other electronic item such as the PS4 of doing that. But every duck must be perfectly lined up, all the planets must be in perfect alignment and a flock of pigs must have just flown overhead for the hdmi output of the gpu to be that badly miswired, or a standard hdmi cable be that incorrectly wired etc.
What's more likely to happen is ppl jamming a hdmi cable into display port, thereby creating power going down data lines or ground lines at the monitor.
