MIracast issues?

[Tobermory31]

Is there a known (or unacknowledged) problem with MIracast and Microsoft Surface devices??

I have a brand new 55" KD Sony TV which happily  works in 'Mirror' mode with all our Android phones.

But when I try to 'miracast' from my Surface GO I get the connection ok ,  but then it starts to hang and goes into a total slowdown then  stop. Same from my partners bigger Surface.

I've tried rebooting and reinstalling miracast  with no success.. bah. 

> I have noticed that the refresh rate on the TV  is quite different (higher) than on my Surface screen. IS that anything to do with it.<<

Any ideas gratefully received..

MiraCast is just the backend used for screen mirroring - though both on your Surface and Smartphone it is installed by default meaning you can directly select it from the settings of your device.

If you installed something - what did you install on your Surface?

Hi @Tobermory31   In my experience Miracast simply doesn’t work using Windows (10 here) over WiFi or Ethernet. In my case a seriously fast Dell laptop and a Dell Desktop PC. They connect with no problems then lag behind quickly and finally stop working all together. The only guaranteed solution is to use a HDMI cable. Note nothing to do with your surface, it is all windows tablets, laptops and PCs.
