Hi welcome to the forums. A monitor is really a personal preference based on the size you want and what you can afford and what features are valuable to you. For painting/illustration, I think the monitor you chose is fine. However, if you go with a slightly smaller panel size (21.5") it will...

Can you capture a screen shot of the out of memory error? Also can you please run "dispdiag.exe" from the command-prompt and save the .DAT file immediately after this occurs? Post that up on onedrive or something and perhaps we can try to see what is going on. The following is by no means an...

Yes it is because of the SP3's 3:2 aspect ratio. With VLC, there may be plugins that allow you to stretch and zoom the video to fill the screen just like on Televisions prior to the broad adoption of "HD" and widescreen 16:9 formats. Pleas see the VLC forum for more info such as this thread...

Because there is such a variety of hubs available in the market, experts will need to know a little bit more about what you want: - how many devices do you need to plug in? - any devices that use a lot of power like hard drives? If so, its best to get a hub that comes with a power supply. - does...

Indeed. Intel doesn't even specify the max graphics ram for the mobile series processors like: http://ark.intel.com/products/76308 but I believe it is still 1.7GB on those too. Related is the WHQL requirement for memory on MSDN...

Intel Haswell processors, like those in the Surface Pro 3, support up to 1.7GB of shared graphics memory. For example: http://ark.intel.com/products/75122/Intel-Core-i7-4770-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz Certain UEFI/firmware/BIOS from other PC manufacturers like Dell and HP allow you to...

You can add custom resolutions with the old 3621 Intel driver Full guide here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/danchar/archive/2014/11/01/high-dpi-multi-mon-with-surface-pro-3-dpi-scaling-tweaks.aspx I added the 200% scaling resolution to pair with a 1080p monitor and it works great!

just holding by hand - hence the crappy pic

Colin, great observations. I agree 100%. I think the problem lies in how dpi scaling is treated in 8.1 - you have to logoff and logon for dpi scaling adjustments to take complete effect, otherwise some apps that don't play nice with the dpi guidance on MSDN would fail pretty miserably.

Intel has pulled the old driver off their website. But you can still get it from their archive direct link: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23885/a08/win64_153322.zip I recommend installing this old driver, setting the resolutions you want, then immediately upgrading to the latest driver. There...

Sorry this is frustrating for you. Which monitor do you have? Here is something you can try: - attach your external monitor - goto the display control panel - under multiple displays choose "extend these displays" - click on the picture of the external monitor - select checkbox "make this my...

I found the article on how to wipe the settings from the registry, but I think it only works on Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934552 I don't think this works on Win7 or later. The way to modify this stuff in Windows 7/Windows 8.x and later is tricky and undocumented. You need to run...

We've got a few of those Dell 4k monitors at work. They are really nice and the price has come down a lot recently so they are a great option. The default scaling factor in Windows for the 24" 4K monitors is 200% while the SP3 screen is 150% (the scaling determination is based on the typical...

A good option is a 21.5" monitor with 1920x1080p resolution which has about 1/2 the physical dpi of the SP3 screen. Side by side it'll look fantastic. For more info see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/danchar/archive/2014/11/01/high-dpi-multi-mon-with-surface-pro-3-dpi-scaling-tweaks.aspx A 2560x1440...

Newhere, you need to point device manager to the INF file directly in the unzipped location: Graphics\igdlh64.inf or similar. I've updated the instructions above with this detail.

kiwi, please post a dxdiag log file and perhaps we can get to the bottom of this. run dxdiag.exe then click "save all info". I believe there are some registry entries you can wipe to make windows think you've never had a monitor attached... I'll see if I can find those for you...

Yeah a lot of Cessnas have 28V accessory power. and EmPower on some commercial airliners use 15v. Most of the quality car adapters work from 12V-24V. 28v might be pushing it. Also the connector size may be slightly different. Perhaps its better to get a proper airplane 12v adapter that provides...

A few generic power adapters including 12v car adapter are listed here: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/sp3-generic-power-brick.11388/

If you really need a case, your best option is probably a Plugable USB Displaylink dock or similar solution and the Microsoft power supply. You just need to plug two items in to dock. Its not terrible. I suggest taping the two cables together with some electrical tape. If you do it right, you...
