Surface Pro 3 does not connect to recent Samsung Series 7 TV

Does the adapter work as expected - flawless and without issues?

Ok, so I got the adapter from Microsoft listed above, and no it does not work flawlessly. However it does work.

The two problems I have, which are pretty much universal are.

1. As mentioned before the TV does not automatically switch to the HDMI input when I connect my SP3 like it would if using the build in option. This is too bad, but not a deal breaker at all for me.
2. There is currently a bug that has been there for all of January as far as I can tell, where the resolution on both screens drops to 1366 x 768 instead of the expected 1920 x 1080 when connecting to miracast. However this is "solved" by not having any Bluetooth devices connected.

See the threat about that here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro3-surfdevice/microsoft-wireless-display-adapter-with-surface/25333a16-ba6e-4cf4-bf93-09235b22d119

Hope this helps..

Ps. The pen still works without Bluetooth enabled, just the button at the end to open one note, does not. And I have still not found the keyboard shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on and off.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with this.

Since a Firmware update from Microsoft, my SP3 works on my Samsung 6400H.

Sometimes it won't- restarting the TV makes it come good.

The SP3 is capable of outputting Miracast to a TV. It seems that there is some question as to WHICH TV's. Perhaps because of Microsoft, but also perhaps because of other manufacturers.

It is obvious that the Surface Pro DOES NOT NEED AN ADAPTER to Miracast.

My Surface Pro I puts the start screen on the TV for a second or two and then SOMETHING cuts it off.

The TV is still in mirror mode and waiting for a signal.

It appears the Surface tablet realizes it is Miracasting and changes the Miracast frequency or some characteristic so that it only works if you have a Miracast adapter to change the signal back so the TV recognizes it.

Since my Start Screen DOES appear on the TV when I start Mirror mode on the Sony UHD TV for a second or two it PROVES ( at least to me ) that no adapter is actually needed or the Start Screen would not be able to show up on the TV at all without the adapter, but it does.

I believe they are stopping it on purpose to force people to buy adapters.

Does the adapter work as expected - flawless and without issues?

I will let you know once I received and connected it. But I assume it won't be able to "steal" the source/input from whatever you are watching, like the build in feature can. So you will probably at the very least, have to switch input on the TV manually. 

Anyway, I will let you know once I tested it. (should arrive in the mail tomorrow, and I will test it tomorrow night)

I don't know about the rest of you, but for me, the adapter is no solution at all. The main reason I want to connect wirelessly is so that I don't have to switch inputs. 

I agree, I would love this feature as well, but having to switch source/input is not a deal breaker for me. Having said that, I would much prefer not having to do it, and being able to use the build in feature, like I can with my phone.
