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.
Surface video adapters are available online in the Accessories area on Surface.com.
Connect 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.
3. Remove the cap from the end of the Surface adapter
cable.
4. Plug the adapter into the Mini DisplayPort on your
Surface (lower-right side).
Note If there’s no picture on the external display, disconnect the adapter, rotate it 180 degrees, and plug it into
Surface again.
Set up your screens
Once you plug in your screen, you can choose your display options. Here’s how:
1. Open the Devices charm (swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap Devices).
2. Tap or click Second screen and then choose one of these options:
Duplicate You’ll see the same thing on both screens.
Extend Your screen is spread over two monitors, and you can drag and move items between the
two.
Second screen only You’ll see everything on the connected screen, and the Surface will be blank.
After you connect a second screen, you might want to change the size of desktop items. For info on how to do
this, see Desktop apps appear too big or small in this guide.
