Connect Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector

You can make videos bigger and louder by connecting your Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector. For example,

you can connect your Surface to an HDTV and watch movies on a big screen or connect to a projector for a

presentation.

To connect Surface to another screen you’ll need an adapter (sold separately) and a compatible VGA or

HDMI cable. Here are the adapters:

Surface HD Digital AV Adapter

Surface VGA Adapter

Which adapter do I need?

To figure out which adapter you need, look at the video ports on your TV, display, or projector.

 HDTV For HD quality, plug the Surface HD Digital AV Adapter into the HDMI port on your HDTV.

 Projector or monitor Check your projector or monitor for an HDMI port. If you don’t see one, you can

use the Surface VGA Adapter with a VGA port on your projector or monitor. The VGA Adapter is for video

only, not audio.
