Donny,
Miracast is a standard, and it is up to Samsung to completely and properly implement the Miracast protocols.
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'll stop trying. :)

2014-12-20T20:42:13+00:00 I too have not been able to mirror to a Panasonic TC-65AX800U using Miracast with my SP3. I can, however, mirror to this TV using my Surface 2 and an Asus Laptop each running Win 8.1.
I have reset my SP3 to out of box condition and tried to mirror before applying any updates. No dice. I fully updated and still no dice. Clearly the Panasonic supports Miracast as evidenced by two of my three devices connecting.
MS, please acknowledge that this is a known issue the SP3 or I am going to return it.

I can't find any reference in the user guide http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-65AX800U?t=manuals&support#tabs or on the web site tat this TV is Miracast certified. Do you have a link? There's no guarantee that any device will work with a non certified device.

How is this constructive?!
The user clearly stated that the mirroring function works on SP2, so obviously the problem lies with SP3 which btw was marketed as a product which was able to use screen mirroring with smart tv:s.
This "blame game" between manufactures is best kept on a B2B level. As a consumer I do not care about which company failed to e.g. implement proper miracast protocols. Just get it done MS or I'll too will return this otherwise fine product.
