Awhile back I posted about my wife dropping her Surface 2 on the tile and rendered it useless. I got a replacement screen, but while messing with the internal connectors for the digitizer, I broke a connector on a pcb. Anyway...what I'm interested in doing is getting a smaller 1080 touch screen and connecting it via the micro hdmi. I ordered a micro hdmi cable, so I haven't had a chance to try this out yet.
First, can you use a touch monitor with the Surface 2 (i.e. use micro hdmi and USB)?
Second, can you default the Surface 2 to use the second monitor as the default without messing with the charms on the main screen (i.e. reg hack or something)?
What I'm hoping to do is to mount the Surface 2 to the back of the monitor and put it on an mounting arm for my wife in the kitchen.
TIA
If I don't hear anything back, I'll let you know what I find out. If this doesn't work, I'll be piecing the Surface 2 components out if anyone is interested.
