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

    Gave air server a shot, timed out, same as the native connection =/

    Thanks for the idea though, good thinking!

    Can someone please provide me with some advice on the issue, as I too cannot connect to my TV.

    • Samsung UE48JU6445 (similar to UE48JU6400 model)
    • Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10
    • Tried changing resolution

    It may be I've missed something out, if someone can provide step by step instructions that would be massively appreciated, so I can rule out any mistakes!

    The video card in the Surface Pro 3 is under-powered and doesn't put out enough juice for anything larger than a 19" display.  Anything bigger than that will fail to connect entirely, or it will connect briefly but you'll have constant screen-freezes and drop-outs on the larger screen.

    That just is not true. I connect to my 52 inch Samsung TV (LN52B750U1F) via Miracast on my SP3 all the time.

    Has anyone tried to uninstall the windows drivers for the graphic card and then manually install the latest drivers from intel's website? Could this help?
