Set of terminals connects display to computer socket (7)

I believe the answer is:

airport

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set of terminals connects' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'display to computer socket' is the wordplay.
'display' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'to computer socket' becomes 'port' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'air'+'port'='AIRPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airport that I've seen before include "... [GAULLISM] its founder perhaps" , "Place for planes" , "The travel depot is a roar pit" , "where flight begins or ends" , "See 18" .)
