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 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.

    A lot of miracast devices have trouble with the sp3. I have a western digital Live TV plus and some times it works and sometimes it wont work. If it works it only last for a few minutes and it disconnects once it does that i have to restart the surface because the WiFi also stops working for some reason. I gave up on miracast.

I have managed to add the TV as a "Play Device" which let me stream a video, but cannot mirror the screen no matter what I try.

    did this ever work for you, prior to the September updates?
