I don't understand why an HDMI output wouldn't be on the Surface Pros. Any of them. In fact I'm shocked and confused as to why. That seems to be the only thing missing.
People can argue all they want between HDMI vs. DisplayPort, but one thing is certain-
HDMI = $10,000 per high-volume manufacturer plus $0.04 per device
DisplayPort = Royalty-free
Not that Microsoft or Apple can;t pay for it. But you can cascade DisplayPort for multiple display monitors. DisplayPort is best suited for computers, while HDMI for Home Theater.
You forgot to mention that all you need is an adapter and you have HDMI output.
The other thing you miss is that lots of peripherals are HDMI these days.
you can get mini display port to hdmi cables very cheaply now. places like monoprice.
so you dont need an adapter.
hdmi is there, just with a different connector.
Could you provide a link to the type of you have? I have a mini Display to HDMI adapter. Thinking about getting one that can work with other peripherals.Isn't what you are describing an "adaptor?"
Real world use... in business at least... you never know what you need to connect to. Possibly an old VGA projector one day or an HDMI one the next. My one "adaptor" will connect my SP3 to either.

Can this one support 4K?
I think the daisy chain feature of DP is the little known fact that makes it much more versatile.
OK school me up a bit.... I have the surface pro. I have a MicroUSB HD Video Out port, is this not HDMI with a different connector?
