Question about Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2

Hello everyone, does this monitor support DRM-protected video playback from an iphone 16 via USB-C? I understand that USB-C video ports can sometimes have trouble transmitting DRM-protected content from services like Netflix or AppleTV+. Thanks.

This monitor supports video input via USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, but it does not explicitly state support for DRM-protected video playback from an iPhone 16 via USB-C.

The monitor requires the connected device to support USB-C DP Alt-mode video output for normal video display. However, user reports indicate that connecting an iPhone directly via USB-C to this monitor for screen mirroring or video playback does not work reliably, and Apple recommends using a Lightning Digital AV Adapter with HDMI or VGA for external displays instead. This suggests that DRM-protected content from services like Netflix or AppleTV+ may not transmit properly over USB-C to this monitor from an iPhone.

Therefore, while the monitor can display video via USB-C from compatible devices, it likely does not support DRM-protected video playback from an iPhone 16 through USB-C due to iOS and Apple’s DRM handling limitations. Using an Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter with HDMI is the recommended method for connecting an iPhone to an external display for protected content.
