Surface Pro 3 does not connect to recent Samsung Series 7 TV

I gave up waiting for a solution from MS and have returned the SP3. I am unlikely to ever purchase another of their tablets until I start seeing less problems with them.

Ironically Samsung state similar in regards to certification.

Please see the note at the bottom of the AllShare page

From a product perspective Miracast isn't explicitly mentioned by Samsung, probably due to Miracast being only one of the technologies used in the AllCast technology (e.g. DLNA)

Which mountain is going to move and make efforts to sort it? its a question of sales rational, do samsung customers by TV's to work with the SP3 or do MS customers buy the SP3 expecting them work with most tv brands.

Of course this would all be a side issue for me if my Xbox One supported miracast, then it would be a happy Microsoft union and all would work (let's call that the 'Apple philosophy'). Unfortunately the miracast capabilities shown during the Xbox One promo isn't going to make it through into the firmware, as it is now being said the hardware doesn't support it. Though an Xbox is probably too expensive to consider if the sole use is an adapter.

Luckily there is the Microsoft display adapter, at least one part of MS is listening to what the customer wants, albeit with an associated cost. However, this isn't available in the UK as of yet.

So as far as i can conclude, MS isn't really behind the technology and is rigidly sticking to it's interpretation of Miracast. My Surface Pro 1 worked with my 7 series, it failed and i bought a Pro 3. My Xbox One was meant to have the technology, however this has been dropped. The Surface Pro 3 claims to have the technology, however it appears it is pot luck (given how many tv's haven't applied for certification). The MS adapter isn't available here, so not really committed to giving back up options in the UK.

I'm not holding my breath for a feature previous gen's had, to be reinstated to the current gen. Let alone have the fault acknowledged as an issue.

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 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:
