Just add a new lens: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:548663 If you don't want to 3d-print you can make one from cardboard and some drug-store "reading" glasses or similar plastic lens material. Its really not a problem unique to SP3.

You could skip the slow MicroSD nonsense and just upgrade your SSD to 1TB and be done with it: http://surfacepro3ssdupgrade.blogspot.mx/2015/02/surface-pro-3-ssd-upgrade-i7-with-1-tb.html :D

kiwigirl, the dock will work fine. This article may help you choose the right dock and accessories for multi-mon setups: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/danchar/archive/2014/12/20/multi-monitor-docking-with-surface-pro-3-and-lenovo-yoga-3-pro.aspx And don't forget this one to change the DPI settings...

AbMaron, Any 27" 2560x1440 WQHD monitor will work well with the Surface Pro 3. Please see this essay for the rationale. Korean off-brand monitors are great. However, getting one to work with a DisplayPort->Dual-link DVI port can be a struggle and any money you save on the monitor is typically...

You could try movie maker: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-movie-maker-download

Oh I see - you have a slightly different scenario than what I envisioned. You can try adding 1280x800 as a custom resolution to the SP3 Intel driver. Check my blog post for details on the tool...

Just so I understand your scenario a little better... - You have a Surface Pro 3 - You have another PC - You have the teamviewer software installed on both machines - You want to use your SP3 as the primary system and use the monitor attached to the other PC as an extended monitor What screen...

ptrkhh, yeah multi-screen gaming is awesome especially in flight-sim and racing games like the Dirt 3. For first person shooters, some developers will render more content and some don't. Grumpy, regarding the scaling thing, I still don't think this is a limitation of DirectX11 at all. It is...

I see. I don't think that's a limitation of DX11 though - you can actually change that behavior with the full Intel.com driver to have a lower-than desktop resolution stretched to take up the full screen if you want to avoid black bars due to the different aspect ratios. But the way this is...

We still use our original Surface RT daily. It works great and still has awesome battery life. Its a great consumption device and runs Netflix, email, and Internet explorer really well. I'm less enthusiastic about the Surface Pro 1 I have at work cause I *have* to lug around the power brick...

Grumpy, what DX11 issue is that? Is it something in the release notes on intel.com? Here is a video of Watchdogs working on the SP3 Core i7 version although even with reduced quality settings (specific settings shown at around 0:45) it is still only achieving about 15-20FPS - but is playable at...

Lukas108, you can choose any system resolution you like but the options available from the factory will have black bars i.e. they won't take up the whole screen. The key advantage of following the tutorial or using the regkey hack is that it will allow you to choose lower system resolutions that...

Although probably not what the OP wants, there is a third party power supply that brings the USB charging receptacle out to a few inches away from the main tablet power connector rather than on the brick like the OEM power supply. Here is the car version...

Mods, I suspect the multitude of dpi related threads may end up being counter-productive to many users especially the casual users coming across these threads via google/bing search. Perhaps it would be appropriate to add dpi tweak methods to the main SP3 FAQ and just point new...

Wow, yet another thread on the dpi stuff. Popular topic! I can't believe how many folks I've helped with the blog post and regkey file through all this! I thought I was the only one with this issue. Anyway, I've settled on using: undocked: native resolution, 150% scaling docked: 1152x768, 100%...

You can use the regkey here or Intel driver install tutorial to add custom 3:2 aspect ratio desktop resolutions: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/danchar/archive/2014/11/01/high-dpi-multi-mon-with-surface-pro-3-dpi-scaling-tweaks.aspx

For me, making sure that the external monitor was set as the primary resulted in more consistency with the fuzzy text/fuzzy window problem. Basically, the external monitor always looks great with the settings I chose and sometimes the Surface screen doesn't look quite as good as it should when...

Jeff, HDCP is technically optional for HDMI as well, but it seems there is a financial incentive for the large market players to implement it with the discount program currently in place. I think there is a word for this sort of behavior that begins with "car" and ends with "tel"... Given that...

Jeff, DP works with older 1.x HDCP protocol. DP 1.3 is also supposed to be compatible with HDMI 2.0 and the new HDCP 2.2 protocol as well. HDCP 2.2 is only relevant for 4K content; it is unlikely that any new restrictions will be put in place on HD (720p/180p) content than what is already in...

[mods- I'm not sure how to link threads officially, so apologies for cross-posting] RWerksman, thanks again for your posts on tabletpcreview! I've posted a .reg file at the bottom of my blog post that folks can just download and double-click to install all the 3:2 aspect ratio resolutions...
