Sorry for just mentioning the laptop model. It uses the device below:

     00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD 
Graphics 620 [8086:5916] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Thank you for taking the time to tell me the proper forum. I created the 
two issues below:

1.  EDID has corrupt header [2]
2.  No image on Philips TV when turning on while connected over 
HDMI/USB-C port replicator (`[drm] *ERROR* Link Training Unsuccessful`) [3]


Kind regards,

Paul
