A drag issue was seen where the TV was displaying a screen that was almost half a second late than what was being displayed on the Microsoft Surface 3. We also saw several gliches where you could see the screen becoming blurred and the audio not being in sync with the video.  However, this type of lagging behavior is often seen with Miracast.  In general, it's recommended to use Miracast only for simple desktop use, browsing, and casual videos and not for high resolution movies and action games.
