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?

    This is happening to me as well.  However, I only have the Arc Touch Mouse for Surface and the Surface Pen connected via bluetooth.  If Bluetooth is on, I get the 1366x768 resolution.  If Bluetooth is off, I get 1920x1080.  If I turn off bluetooth, connect at the 1920x1080, and then enable bluetooth, it changes resolution back to 1366x768.

    Nicolas,

    What exact BT devices are you using?

    Ruth - additional information:

    • The issue appears to present itself as long as any bluetooth devices are connected (mouse, pen, etc).
    • The issue happens when the SP3 is wireless or when docked (with wired LAN and power).
    • The issue can be consistently reproduced.
    • The SP3 is fully updated.
    • The MWDA does full 1080P every single time with Android devices with no issues.

    I will be home later today and will test using my home MWDA that is connected to a different brand TV - I highly expect the same results.

    I'm having the exact same issue. Connected to a Samsung 24" LCD monitor - 1080p. Everything else (WinPhone, Android, etc) that I pair with the Adapter works in 1080p. Surface Pro 3 works in 1080p ONLY when bluetooth is off.
