So I have confirmed info now from the engineering team.
The USB Type-C port is alt-DP using a DP-to-HDMI converter internally. It does not support alt-HDMI mode!

Thanks, good (for me) to hear (I think)!
My Lenovo 720S 13IKB has two USB-C ports (in addition to two of the old USB-A format):
1× Type-C (DP + PD + Thunderbolt)
1× Type-C (PD + USB 3.0)
I have a cable I bought in January, marketed as:
USB 3.1, Type C to Type C, Gen 2, “E-Marked Chipset”, 1.5A 30W USB PowerDelivery, length 2 meters, data transfer up to 10 Gb/s
Connecting a cable that meets those specifications to the first of the laptop’s two USB-C ports should work for video via DP to the projector’s internal DP-to-HDMI converter, if I understand correctly? The cable can’t handle power, but I’ll use the USB-C cable delivered with the projector for that.
Oh that’s interesting, was that changed or has it been alt-mode DP the whole time? That will guarantee very wide compatibility when the USB4 standard starts to roll out.

It has been this way all along, my information was not accurate until now, when I talked to the design engineer about how to handle 2019 MacBook bug fix.

Hi @Herve1,
can you tell us the name or modell number of the tablet? Otherwise it’s hard to find out if the tablet even allows video output by cable.

Hey ! Thx for your reply . Yes it’s : HUAWEI Media part T3. Model KOB-L09
If it’s this one I suspect you won’t be able to get video out with a cable, as it says “no” under MHL-capable (this would be the sort of video adapter you might get working via micro-USB, but only on supporting devices).
So your best option would probably be to use the Miracast on the PPM (I don’t know exactly how it works there, but there should be some sort of app for wireless projections). On your tablet, you can probably use these instructions to enable “MirrorShare” (which is probably their term for Miracast).

Actually gonna use my iPhone 7 . Don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier . Have u tried ? I checked . Apple is selling the lightning adaptatif then I have to buy an HDMI cable too . Is that right ?
Thanks again for your help .
Yes, it should work with the “Lightning Digital AV adapter” and a HDMI cable. Qualitywise, it’s almost certainly better than any kind of wireless mirroring, and as a bonus you shouldn’t have to worry about DRM issues at all.
Disclaimer: Although I have used the product several times I haven’t tried it with DRM content. I don’t own this product myself so I can’t test it.
that great . thx for your feedback . i ll do that .
last question… regarding the warranty do i have to register the product on philips website , or it is automatically under warranty as we backed the project ?
I have a Lenovo L380 Yoga with DisplayPort over USB-C (DisplayPort over USB-C - DisplayPort). And I have two Asus portable monitors (MB16 series, one with built-in battery and one without). Both monitors work fine with my laptop. But PPM does not. So I am quite sure there is a bug in either HW or SW in PPM, hoping for SW… However, it works with my Huawei P20 pro.
PPM and laptop: PPM recognizes that USB-C cable is connected. Windows 10 recognizes that a display is connected but cannot extract the display resolution and so forth from the PPM. And no picture…
Anyone, please?
The warranty is applicable regardless of registration, but we recommend you to register it on the Philips website. We are moving most services like firmware updates, user guides, support etc. to the official site. The forum will continue, however.

Bump. Do anyone representing Screeneo/Phillips read non shipping threads at all? I would like to get some answers before the return window closes…

For me it seems that the only projection that works with no flaws, hardware or software, is using HDMI. This product was announced with a specification being more than a traditional HDMI projector, so… Anyone?
