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

    I just ran a search there, but no TV by Samsung is listed by model number as Miracast compatible. I think that is just a marketing ploy to promote "AllShare" as something proprietary and special. I don't believe there would be any samsung official page that uses the term"Miracast" for that reason, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't work.

    Anyone made any headway on this?

    I went to http://www.wi-fi.org/certified-products-advanced-search to check if

    the TV was certified and ran an advanced search and it did not come up as

    Miracast certified. I also could not find a link to a product page. Can you

    provide a link showing it is Miracast certified?

    I just bought the SP3 and updated right away, before I got it home, so I never got to try it with my TV.

    I did however stop by a friend's place prior to updating and managed to mirror the screen (after 3 or 4 attempts) to a Samsung TV, but I don't know what model or series it was.

    I really hope that this is addressed. It's one of the main reasons I bought the SP3.
