I think you're right about the network card. Why they didn't use an Intel widi chip on such a high-end product, is beyond me.
Surface Pro 3 does not connect to recent Samsung Series 7 TV

Hi,
my Surface Pro 1 does connect well with my Samsung Smart TV series 7. However, my new Samsung Pro 3 wont connect. It finds the TV and then tries to establish connection and asks to wait - maybe the TV should not popup a PIN code - but that never happens and the connection times out. Interestingly the Surface Pro 3 gets listed in the Samsung network device settings and is set to "allowed" for connection but the Surface Pro 3 still wont connect. Note i have deployed all latest updates on Samsung TV as well as Surface Pro 3.
I would appreciate to get this working again.
Thx,
Bernd

No wonder my smart TV won't work with SP3! My guess is that there is something wrong with SP3's Marvell network card and MS cannot get the certification done. MS what were you thinking?

2015-01-22T16:52:36+00:00 I have also checked...and you're right! :(
Certifications are only for Surface, Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 but nothing for Surface Pro 3
So what does it mean MS guys?? Every new model of Surface computers are a step back in technology instead to step forward? :(*&^%$^(

2015-01-22T16:22:40+00:00 I checked on the website and the Surface, Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 are certified. Doesn't look like the Surface Pro 3 is listed as certified. My tv only works with certified Miracast devices :)
I'm checking on this.

2015-01-22T16:22:00+00:00 I have personally used a Netgear PTV3000 with my SP3 and an older Samsung TV http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/LN52B750U1F
The Netgear PTV3000 appears to be available in the UK:
