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

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.

I'm totally agree with you XLsiorMedia. Main purpose about buying this laptop is to have everything connected in the house wirelessly. "Buy our Microsoft Miracast Adapter" is not a solution.

Besides, we spent big money in this laptop and we deserve a proper solution. It's been already a few months since this issue was opened, so Microsoft guys, move your **** and solve the problem (please)!!!!

I am quite pessimistic that MS will ever solve the problem. For example, the notorious external display flicker problem has been raised for over half a year, and there is still zero response from MS. Also, the disabled wireless AP function on SP3 has not been restored, and still no words form MS if they will ever enable the function.

Given the SP4 will be out in a few months, I guess if these issues were not fixed before the debut of SP4, they will never be fixed.
