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

    Also just installed Windows 10, problem remains.

    Tried adjusting different resolutions, no change.

    Both devices sit there saying they're "connecting" but then time out. The TV says "Screen Mirroring has ended", which suggests that it "thinks" that it made a successful connection and then disconnected gracefully (even though it did not).

    My Lumia Icon Windows Phone connects beautifully (though at a lower than HD resolution).

    Just a heads up for people with Samsung TVs - Samsung seem to be REALLY slow with posting firmware updates onto their online service.  I have a series 6 TV and I did a manual check for updates today and it said I was already on the latest (2130), however I googled the TV model number and "firmware update" and they have a firmware file available which you can flash by USB for version 2750.3 which was released less than a month ago.

    It made no difference to my ability to connect however :(
