Hi. Per my post a couple above yours, we have found that the dock output is definitely less capable than the port on the device. Now that I have stopped experimenting, I am running two Dell U2414H using displayport MST off the dock, and have sometimes had flickering like you describe on the...

A further testing point for anyone interested: We just received a single dock, and have tested it with my i5 and my colleagues i7. The i5 and i7 work the same display wise, and they both work slightly differently with the dock minidisplayport out compared to directly from the device...

So with reference to your original issue, your i5 worked OK direct from the device, but not from the dock (per your initial post #36 on this thread), and the i3 you've received for testing works both from the device and from the same dock that didn't work with the i5? Is that right - or have...

Interesting thanks Spitnik, but the tail of that thread about passive vs active doesn't gel with my understanding of plain (non adapter) MiniDP to DP connection, which is what I think RWerksman and others are trying to do. Doesn't that just work as a plain cable? If there's no conversion to hdmi...

Hi - for clarity confirming does yours work OK with the Dell's direct from the SP3 mdp port (as opposed to the dock?). I don't have a dock yet, (and am watching this carefully to see if I should bother), but have just taken delivery of a couple of Dell U2414H monitors, so have an interest in...

...And who do we have to yell at to get a certified/known good mdp to dp cable in the Surface Accessories store (preferably with a sloping plug like the adaptors -as they have replicated the slope on the dock)? Even at a premium price it could safe a heap of the wasted time here...

I've noticed much the same in Modern/Metro internet explorer only. Doesn't seem to happen in Desktop IE, Chrome or Firefox. In my case the page I'm going back to dims for a few seconds while reloading-is that what you're finding?

Oh you're kidding - I just pushed the buy button on an extra pair of Dell monitors for home selected quite specifically for MST chaining off the SP3, immediately before coming here for a health check on today's firmware update. I don't have a dock yet, but the symptoms ex Windows (and level of...

Solved : Sourced a replacement cable - Lenovo branded that explicitly stated DisplayPort 1.2 compatability, and all is working fine.

Agree that it's pretty sound - I use it for my desktop. Sadly it's not bluetooth though, and the dongle is relatively long for the SP3 - you really couldn't leave it in. (Also, mouse is no go for lefties, and I'd love a magnet of some sort to keep the NumPad in the right reltive position - I...

Thanks RottenMutt. Yes, you noticed the M on my U2713HM, which I think stands for 'Miserly'. They are great for what I need and are a lot cheaper here, but I think don't have the color accuracy or MST displayport that yours have. After trying a colleague's SP2 with his older Dell monitor I've...

So there is hope...However.. I may have a slightly older model, as I have no DP out for Daisychaining, and no option to switch DP version to DP1.2?

Thanks Seneleron - but I'm just trying to do what is meant to be the easy thing of (Mini)Displayport to Displayport - I'm not using DVI at all. (If I were I think you're right - the dual-link DVI requires active) As I understand there is no passive or active adapter involved (that's how it...

Updating without joy: Given that the Setup.exe refused to run, I also had a go at using 'Have Disk' and pointing to the appropriate .inf file under Graphics/ in the extracted files. This succeeded in installing the intel shell tray applet and shell extensions, but still no DP output. Oh, and re...

Dang - the Intel drivers refuse to install, saying: 'The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate dirver from the computer manufacturer. Setup will exit.' I tried both the beta and latest from here...

Sweet - sounds promising so I'll give it a spin and report back. Thanks!

Hey, any update on if this got worse or better for you? I've got a new SP3 and am having exactly the issue you described, except without any success with unplug/replug. See my post here: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/minidisplayport-out-not-working-on-sp3.9826/

So I'm trying to get this SP3 to replace my laptop, hence I want to connect at least one external display. Because I want to use my monitor's full 2560x1440 resolution, a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI won't cut it, so I got a MiniDisplayPort to full size DisplayPort cable. (I checked the PS store for...
