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

    Hello, I had the same problem with a 5700 series samsung tv. It used to work with the surface pro 2 and after a tv firmware update it stopped.

    I just updated the tv firmware from version 1118 to version 2012 and was able to stream my SP3 again. Hope this helps.

    I'm glad to have found this thread as I've been having the same exact issues as XLsiorMedia - trying to get my SP3 to connect to my Samsung TV (UN60H6350AFXZA). I run into the same issues with the TV & SP3 trying to connect but eventually timing out.

    Funny thing is, I just reset my SP3 not too long ago and had I known this issue existed, I would have tested screen mirroring BEFORE re-installing all updates, specifically the latest 9/9/14 update.

    Oh well, looks like this is a dead-end for now. I might look into getting a netgear PTV3000, but I’m not excited about adding another device to my tv. I already have a chromecast to handle mirroring certain iOS apps (Netflix and HBO Go) + web page video streams (via the chrome browser extension) and this pretty much satisfies my needs. The only thing left to do was mirror the SP3, wirelessly, so I was very excited to see/hear screen mirroring was possible. Honestly, this isn’t super important as I’d probably wouldn’t use a 60” tv as a second monitor, but it would be nice to stream/mirror Xbox video, games, photo, and other apps from the SP3 to the tv – again wirelessly, as I know this can be done hardwire via HDMI (mini-display port to HDMI adapter).
