For the USB-C to HDMI adapter, we recommend using the HDMI adapter with a HDMI 2.0 cable or higher. Bluetooth can occasionally interfere with Miracast. Select action center in the taskbar and make sure Bluetooth is off.

See the same things on both your Surface and on the external display (to learn more about display resolutions, go to Solution 7). I wanted to know if through an adapter, I could connect the old MBP from its Mini-DisplayPort to the USB-C of the monitor and have a video signal.

When you use two external displays, you may be able to achieve a higher refresh or display resolution on one display by lowering the refresh or display resolution used on the other. Solution 8: Try the adapter on a different external display Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. On your Surface, select Start > Power > Restart . If there's an update available, it might say Update and restart . Turn the TV or other display off and on, then try connecting them again.

Using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable, connect the Mini DisplayPort on your Surface to the DisplayPort input on the first external display. If only one of your external displays has an output port, connect your Surface to that external display first. I have a newer MBP with 4 USB-C connectors that I use with an LG UltraFine 5K Monitor (aka. LG 27MD5KA-B). Thanks @VibrantNebula for your very informative post. I have nearly the same problem as @NightOwl. I have a state of the art laptop (with a Geforce 2070 Max-Q GPU, Intel i9, ...) with no displayport. However I live in Western Europe and the adapter suggested is not available anywhere close by. Could you please suggest other adapters that have been shown to work with HTC Vive Pro? Or a guide on the minimum specifications needed for it to work? Follow the monitor manufacturer’s instructions to set both external displays to use DisplayPort 1.2 as an input source. For example, this might be called Multi-Stream Transport (MST), which allows the first display to pass the signal along to the second external display. USB-B ports do not provide power. USB-A ports provide power but no more than 12 watts, that is assuming they meet the USB spec. There are devices on the market that violate the USB spec to provide more power than 12 watts through USB-A but if your laptop is going to take advantage of this then the cable to the laptop would also have to violate the USB spec, and do so in a way that matches this non-USB spec. Also, 12 watts is a maximum, the minimum allowed from USB-A is 4.5 watts.

I don't have other type-c monitors to test so I can't really determine if the issue is with the type-c cable or the monitor not supporting it. So if anyone was successful with using a bidirectional cable for this monitor, please tell me!! Or if there is a way to fix this somehow, please tell me as well! Press the Windows logo key + P on your keyboard, or select the action center on the taskbar, and select Project. Use the cable that came with your monitor or verify that the cable supports video. Always do this with Surface devices with USB-C ports.All Surface models can wirelessly connect to compatible displays using Miracast. To do this, press Windows logo key + P and select Connect to a wireless display. You can also wirelessly connect your Surface to an HDMI-compatible display by using the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. HDMI ports provide power as well, and like DisplayPort, this is not supposed to be wired to the other end of the cable. MHL uses the HDMI ports and connectors and allows for power from the display to an attached device. MHL cables can use the HDMI connector on only one end, the other end will have to use some other MHL compliant connector. One such connector is USB-C. MHL devices connected with HDMI connectors are still limited to what power HDMI can safely handle, which is 7.5 watts. That is enough power for a Slingbox receiver, Chromecast device, or smart phone, but not enough to charge a laptop computer. Because not all MHL ports provide the maximum allowed power those tiny Chromecast and Slingbox devices that hang off HDMI/MHL ports always have a power input port separate from the HDMI/MHL connection.

See the same things on both your Surface display and on the TV, monitor, or projector (to learn more about screen resolutions, go to Solution 6). Note: Common video input settings include VGA, DVI, AUX, DisplayPort, HDMI, Line in, Input, and Source. Both the host device and the external display need to support the Thunderbolt™, DisplayPort, High Bit Rate (HBR) standards. Connect the output port of the first external display to the DisplayPort input port of the other external display. When you connect your Surface to a TV or monitor, your Surface tries to set the best resolution based on the connector and the resolution of your TV or monitor.

If your laptop's USB-C port will output DP1.2+, here is an adapter that's known to work with Pro. It will only work if your laptop is compatible. Move what's on the screen across your Surface display and onto the TV or monitor screen. When you have displays extended, you can drag and move items between the two screens and select a different resolution for your second screen (to learn more about screen resolutions, go to Solution 6).

If the cable that came with your monitor isn’t responding, use a different video cable to connect your Surface. If you're using a video extension cable or video adapter or converter, remove it from your set up to see if it’s causing the problem. All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location.If your monitor doesn’t support DisplayPort or USB-C, we recommend using HDMI. Otherwise, use DVI or VGA. The adapters listed in the table have been tested for compatibility and can help solve video issues. For other options, see Officially licensed third-party accessories.
