Just to clarify, you are using the SP3 as a PC and using the IMac's monitor as an external display. You want to use the Imac display as the primary display and disable the SP3 screen but keep the pen digitizer active. This is a very interesting scenario. I don't think its possible to keep the...

Yes I know. I was really hoping Vista would have independent scaling... Seems like nobody has it quite right yet. There are tradeoffs to the approaches taken by Apple, Microsoft, and X. If someone can solve the engineering tradeoffs between performance, fuzziness/aliasing, bitmap UI asset...

This tutorial summary will show an alternate approach to achieve seamless multi-monitors on the Surface Pro 3 for desktop productivity scenarios. Coles notes: use the generic intel.com GPU driver to add the 1080*720 screen resolution and pair the SP3 screen with 21.5” 1920x1080 monitors. The...

Manonthebrain, Its a good idea, but I have some advice for you. 3D-printing is only useful for prototyping. The resin is not suitable for production due to cost and durability. Check out the "ballistic" cases for cellphones - they have replaceable soft corner thingies. I think you should...

Very nice to see quality innovative accessories coming to market for the Surface lineup. One day in and the kickstarter is already fully funded. Impressive! I bet the MS Surface team is paying close attention to this one.

Hi da2tha3, Maybe you'd like something like this? http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-pro/7863-surface-pro-portrait-docking-station.html I can't vouch for it, but here is another option similar to the one you posted: Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Tablet Heavyduty Clamp Desktop...

Yeah I know its not the easiest tool to use. But its better if you use the keyboard shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts - Microsoft Windows Help Press this key / To do this Windows logo key Windows logo key+plus (+) or minus (-) / Zoom in or out Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar / Preview the desktop in...

Wow great deal for $130!

Understood. If you do want to check them out at a retailer though, try this link: Store Locator - Nokia

Ceepeebee, you could try something like my portrait mount solution: http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-pro/7863-surface-pro-portrait-docking-station.html I designed it out of wood so it would be no problem adapting it to a regular VESA monitor mount. Maybe I'll fab up a proof...

I haven't seen it personally, but I got confirmation from a colleague that having simultaneous Miracast and HDMI in extended mode/triple monitors on a Surface Pro 2 does work. There might be some specific step in the order in which you add devices, I'm not sure. I wasn't able to get it working...

Hehe google play/android app store is sorely lacking in useful apps it seems :p Better get a Windows phone. Nokia 520 with no contract was $59.99 at Fry's for a while...

DMahoney1170, One option is to use the built-in magnifier tool. PC Settings - Ease of Access - Magnifier Or if using keyboard, hit winkey + plus to zoom in and winkey+ minus to zoom out. This post may help as well: DPI Scaling Size - Change for Displays in Windows 8.1

Confirmed on a Surface 2 device today that you cannot have triple monitor setup :( When you connect the miracast display, the HDMI display is disabled and vice versa. You also cannot disable the internal LCD panel and run dual display with HDMI+Miracast. I'm going to try to find out if this is...

Mickeylittle, Sorry I missed that posting above. Have you contacted the Pluggable support folks? I hear they are quite good on support. Maybe you have a faulty unit and it needs to be swapped out? I have a bad Lenovo dock that looses the connection every 20 minutes or so. Quite annoying. I...

There are 2 small heatsink/fans in the Surface Pro series that share a heat-pipe: Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Teardown - iFixit Inside there is a an embedded microcontroller that monitors airflow and temperatures. It knows how you are holding the device and which air vents are blocked and will...

Unfortunately, slicing off part of the flipstand will only make the device marginally more stable in portrait mode. Using the touch screen still won't be much fun. The center of mass is just too high and without lateral stability, the whole thing will wobble. Instead of slicing off a piece you...

Ghetto? Really? I was going for redneck "get-er-done". But yes I totally agree; its just a prototype :)

MickeyLittle, I recommend using as few devices and adapters as possible. A single USB docking station like the Plugable UD-3900 for $119 is probably the most economical solution that will give you 6 USB ports and two monitor outputs that will allow you to re-use the cables with the monitors. As...
