Need to know if this adapter works with the Surface RT running on the Windows RT 8.1 O/S? I purchased a Belkin F4U047 adapter from Radio Shack and it doesn't work.

It works just fine with Windows RT which is really Windows 8.1. It uses standard HD and USB ports. Can't imagine why it wouldn't run on any system with standard interfaces. Read the fine print on the usb ports, though as to supported formats for displaying.

NokiaFanToo, the question was about a Surface Pro, not a Surface RT. There is a similar $10 adapter by Cable Matters that states it works with the Surface Pro but not the Surface RT. I hope this is the case with this PNY model as I am about to order it instead of the Cable Matters adapter. P.S. I will be using this on a Surface Pro 2. Also, I have a Moshi adapter originally purchased for my MacBook Pro that works perfectly with my Surface Pro 2, both audio and video.

I have a Surface RT and it works fine, I'm sure it will work with Surface 2 since it is a newer system.

I tried this adaptor on a new Surface Pro with Windows 8 and a 39" Seiki 4k monitor. It would show an image for a second and then go black continuously. I had to buy the Microsoft adaptor to get it to work.

I am not sure about 8.1, but I bought it for a Surface RT with 7.1 and it works great. I have to assume it would be the same for the RT you have in mind. I figured for the price it was a deal and worth taking the chance. We use it on our Samsung smart phones as well.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

Unfortunately it doesn't come with a Surface adapter. I think they should have one made available as the surface become more popular.Hope this helps.

It is working with a Surface RT Windows 8 just fine. I have no knowledge about Surface 2 use.

It works exactly as any other display adapter, full functionality of Windows configurations (extend, mirror). I am using Windows 8.1 and works perfectly fine. Just follow the instructions in the manual, specially the part where it says "DO NOT CONNECT THE VISIONTEK ADAPTER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DRIVERS" That's the only tricky part I found.

Since a driver is involved the one for the pro version might indeed not work for the RT version. I only have the Pro so can't confirm this

If by Surface RT you mean the Tablet than as long as it has Bluetooth capability it will work. Hope this answer helps.

It works on the mini display port on my Lenovo running Win 8.1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Display_Port I've seen a number of 1:1 adapters that will fit these ports (mostly HDMI: mini-display port) but I needed one that could accept incoming from both a standard display port cable and an HDMI cable.

I don't know if it works with Win RT. I used it on ASUS android tablet and it works fine there. The package did come with a disk with 'drivers' on the label. Did this help at all?

I have a Surface RT 8.1 and it works great.I don't know if this will work for the Surface 2 or Pro, there may be a slight size difference.Not sure.

It's not suppose to go in the USB port it's suppose in a smaller port, yes it should fit ur surface rt perfectly,,, check your user manual to check where the HDMI is located on your device

The item provided Ethernet Port to my Surface RT, and this device is very limited and restrictive to what it detects. In the other hand HP provides a powerful website for upgrades and updates. I believe you should not have any problem. This item was the only one of its kind that was recognized by the Surface RT
