Solved! Need help with Epson EB S41 and microsoft surface

[emmaShopoholic]

Hello,

I've recently bought a projector to watch netflix(via Chrome not the app) through my Microsoft surface.

I tried to connect with the USB-b cable but when I project, although I see it displayed(eg Netflix home)when I hit play, I don't see any images (only sounds)...and the trailors that automatically play are REALLY slow...

Do I need to via HDMI to stream?
There is also a port called "video" on the projector. Is this a better option?

Really appreciate your help!

To use USB for video and audio the Epson manual states you have to install Epson USB Display software on your computer. Check page 20 of the owners manual.
To use HDMI you will need a USB-C HDMI adapter.
The composite video input won't look as good as the other options.

Hi, thank you for your reply! I've tried downloading the USB display software and it still doesn't want to seem to play Netflix.(everything else is mirrored perfectly onto the screen)

Aa for the HDMI, will try this!

Do you get the Netflix website? If so then maybe changing the video resolution of the movie will work.
Did you try the app instead of the browser?

I've seen issues with using USB video options and playing videos. We have some wireless clickshare devices that use USB and display a black screen in video. Use an HDMI adapter for the Surface for video.
