Here is mine, totally mobile!

View attachment 3648

Don't worry, I'm totally recovered but still that's the way I use my SP3. Always mobile, no monitors, no mice. The only cord coming in is the power one!

My first thought was that the Surface Pro 3 was controlling the machine providing you pain relief drugs... you looks stoned in that picture.

HAHAHA

My desk is a work in progress. I have all the pipe cut and painted, I just have to build it now.

The second pic is the table top, there will be a plate of glass sitting on top of the 2 antique doors. Can't wait to get it all finished and up and running :)

I don't want to hijack the thread, and haven't got a photo just yet, but can I ask Does the display scaling drive you insane with this setup??
I find with 24 inch 1920x1090 monitors, that no matter what settings I choose the SP3 screen items always display much smaller than they do when undocked, and quite fuzzy just to rub it in. With 'Choose one scaling level for all my displays' on the clarity is great, but sizing even worse.
Has anyone found a way to force the scaling size independently?

the display scaling drives me nuts just with one monitor, having to log out and back in every time. I really wish there was a fix for this.

It drives me nuts on the Sammy. The Dell scaling isn't too bad. I have tried both sets of settings and I am running the latest display drivers direct from Intel. MY 24 is a 1920x1200 mind you and the Sammy isn't even 1080p. I want a second 16:10 monitor that I can daisy chain via DP, the dell doesn't support it and the other 24" model is only 1080

My SP3 docked in the MS docking station and connected to the middle monitor via mini-DP to DVI through the dock and to the side monitor through mini-DP to DVI connected directly to the SP3.

I don't have any issues with Scaling, I use a 24" 1080p Samsung External Monitor (I use it on a Miracast Adapter), it is crisp and clear. I use the slider at the 3rd position.
