On “Graphics Programming Lecture Series Resources”

I don't know how familiar you are with the basics, but this lecture series gives a pretty good overview of some of the basic graphics fundamentals. I would also recommend learning from multiple sources simultaneously. I find the best resources are books, especially older ones; they teach the foundations that more modern rendering techniques are built upon.

On “How is display handled?”

Iwhar exactly do you want to learn - do you want to learn low level of how graphics hardware and the OS handles drawing to a monitor, or how to use a library to create windowed programs? So, you can watch a traditional computer graphics course on YouTube or look for a computer engineering course or learn about shaders using OpenGL or use python and tkinter to learn making applications in a modern OS. To do what you want (program graphics implementation "on the metal") you'll want OS and driver programming implementations, which is outside what I know and I'll leave it to others to suggest a path of learning. Perhaps Ben Eater has a video on it? Yup, "The world's worst video card" May…
