you never run out of power half way.

Note
• The port marked [MHL-HDMI] is the only
port on the monitor that supports the MHL
function when the MHL cable is used. Note
that the MHL certified cable is different than a
standard HDMI cable.
• A mobile device with MHL certification must
be purchased separately.
• You may have to manually switch the monitor
to MHL-HDMI mode in order to activate the
monitor, if you have other devices already
working and connected to available inputs.
• This Philips display is MHL certified. However,
in case your MHL device does not connect
or work correctly, check with your MHL
device FAQ or vendor directly for direction.
The policy of your device manufacturer may
require you to purchase their brand specific
MHL cable or adapter in order to work with
other brand MHL devices. Note that this is
not a fault of this Philips display.
