P2720DC, Samsung S6 Lite tablet, USB Type-C, not recognized

Question

Help. I just unboxed my new P2720DC and tried connecting my Samsung S6 Lite tablet using the USB Type-C to C cable. The P2720DC will charge the Samsung S6 Lite tablet but will not connect fully?

What's wrong?

@Linda2009  Video output over USB-C, called DisplayPort Alt Mode, is an optional capability of USB-C ports, and not all devices with USB-C ports support it. A bit of Googling I did just now indicates that the S6 Lite does not support it.

Thanks for your info. So I'm a bit puzzled about this monitor....wondering WHAT devices it does connect to using USB C.  So far my Huawei P10 and Samsung S6 Lite are no good.  I did a lot of research and read a lot about  how monitors with USB C are the way of the future. I looked for an affordable USB C monitor but I'm realising my mistake was not to find out EXACTLY which devices this monitor can connect to using  Display Port Alt Mode.
