Which video adapter do I need?

To figure out which adapter you need, look at the ports on your TV, monitor,

or projector.

HDMI port? Use the HD Digital AV Adapter.

No HDMI port? Use the VGA Adapter (the VGA Adapter transfers video

only, not audio).

Surface video adapters are available online in the Microsoft Store.

Connect Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector

1. Connect a VGA or HDMI cable to the HDMI or VGA port on

your TV, monitor, or projector.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Surface adapter.

(Be sure to remove the end cap from the Surface adapter.)

3. Plug the adapter into the HD video out port on Surface.

Set up what’s on your screens

1. Open the Devices charm and then tap or click Project.

2. Choose one of these options:

 PC screen only. You’ll see everything on your Surface. (When you're connected to a wireless

projector, this option changes to Disconnect.)

 Duplicate. You’ll see the same thing on both screens.

 Extend. You'll see everything spread over both screens, and you can drag and move items between

the two.

 Second screen only. You’ll see everything on the connected screen, and your Surface screen will be

blank.
