I followed a long and convoluted thread on Reddit about this, which eventually led me to the official Microsoft website discussion on the matter. Microsoft are aware of this and have stated a fix will be included in the next firmware package (whenever that is). Don't ask me for the links, I...

I use all three methods at the same time! I keep my hosts file uopdated from the link earlier in the thread, I have all the tracking lists added and I also use AdblockPlus IE 1.3 as well. its so nice browsing the web with all three enabled, almost nothing obnoxious or annoying gets through...

Since we are not touching gamma the colour drift with brightness should be kept to a minimum., the values above are the best fit when I tested at 50% and 75% brightness. However, my SP3 is now 3 weeks old and I think the screen has "brunt in" so to speak, I will be measuring it against the...

you may have missed my edit, I expanded on it a little :)

I measured mine against 3 others that people own at work, they were all within 0.2% gamut of each other. Sure, there are some differences between panels, but the factory calibration is a considerable way off from SMPTE spec, which I need to use for image calibration with our cinema equipment...

For some weird reason, my battery seems to charge much faster when im actually using the device compared to when it is off or in sleep. Although this does not bother me, i found it a little strange. 10 minutes charging in sleep / off results in about 7% charge increase, whereas if im using it...

Greetings !

Have you tried switching to the official yet unofficial intel drivers (manual install) as it has a lot more options for seclnd screens. though, i have never miracasted so not sure

ive got the baby i3, and i dont think i have ever had the fan come on for more than a few seconds, even playing my favourite MMO. it performs "perceptibly" the same as my Lenovo ultrabook with a i5-4210u. i honestly cant tell the difference. also, my battery lasts for AGES

hi nico have you tried doing a windows refresh / restore to see if it was the same in an out-of-the-box condition? If it is, then definately warranty case, if it returns to normal then you may have inadvertantly touched the screen during the caliubration with your finger or hand. I did that...

are you miracasting or using cables?

Yeah, I have yet to find a situation where I think I'm getting slowdowns or just need MOAR POWER . heck, it even playes star trek online at native resolution pretty well !

I totally want that as my forum tag or something :)

I haven't experienced any USB related problems myself on my SP3 but I have seen a number of unresolved threads where people are seeing higher than usual USB power consumption in their battery reports or other strange behaviours with USB connectivity. I am one of those overly fussy people and...

Oh, and hello from the UK, had my base model i3 64gb SP3 for a week now ad have to say even though its the base model, for everyday use its just as fast as my Lenovo ultrabok, which I basically haven't picked up or even turned on since I got the surface.

Most grateful !

I'd say that's completely abnormal. send it in for warranty!

Can't really say more than the subject, but would really appreciate it if someone could change the GA to a Ga in my username

No problem . and ya, I wish I could fix my stoopid doofus user name fubar

Its part of the default Microsoft tuned Intel display drivers (which you can disable if you install them manually) basically on battery power it switches to a 48hz refresh rate and on power it switches to 59
