Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter with Surface Pro 3 Resolution Problem

Anonymous

My Surface Pro 3 is fully updated with the latest firmware and updates and the wireless display also has the latest updates.

When I have my bluetooth on and I connect to the wireless display adapter, my TV's max resolution that I can set is 1366 x 768 but when I turn my bluetooth off first and then connect to the wireless display adapter I can set my TV to 1920 x 1080.

It's kind of annoying to have to turn bluetooth off first before I connect to my tv. Is there something I can do to fix this issue?

    Me too Jeff... Here in The Netherlands: f.i. tweakers.com, kieskeurig.nl.

    This shouldn't take so long.

    I get pretty much the same issue, except when I curl the mouse to turn it back on, the display disconnects within about a minute.

    Wish I had known about the issue. Don't think I would have picked it up today. Bummer!

    Anywho... Submitted a bad review citing the issue both on the MS Store and BestBuy (where I bought it). I suggest more do the same. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all.

    not fixed for me, i do have company SF3 with arc BT mouse and if i want to connect at HD i have to disable BT first

    flatten the mouse. connect via Miracast. then unflatten the mouse. that works for me. does it work for you?

    I'm connected to my network on wifi over 5 GHz, not 2.4. are you connected at 2.4 or 5?

    I've emailed a contact at Microsoft about the bad info you were given.

    I don't know if this will help you while waiting who knows long for a solution,

    but if you don't power up Bluetooth peripherals until after the Miracast session

    is in progress and then power them up, the screen resolution doesn't change.

    That's my experience with the Arc Touch mouse and Parrot Zik headphones.
