I don't know what this video error/glitch is called but I know someone here does, and I need help. This is true for all TV shows, Movies (Blu-ray or normal). In sample video at 11 seconds paused to show how interface has flickering and glitching. Here is video (my sample video)

Same MINIX NEO box, Same CoreElec Operating System, same cables (and tried 3 cables on 4 different ports for BOTH TV's), painstakingly tested ALL resolutions with all combos of frame rates with the same flickering issue on both TV's. New TV has Netflix/Disney+/Amazon Prime built in and on large resolutions it works great (meaning totally separate from MINIX NEO box and KODI). Old TV didn't have apps "built in" but Roku box does the same thing and resolution is great checking Netflix/Disney+/Amazon Prime (Again separate from MINIX NEO box and KODI). All resolutions/frame rates have this flickering issue EXCEPT 720x480p which is the lowest on list of choices. 

After all of that I believe it is some setting/configuration on MINIX NEO box but I have no idea what I am doing wrong. My question is how "high" of a resolution can I go? I would love all the way to 4096x2160p for everything! If that is not possible then where in the list of resolutions (reference video) can I go? On monster new TV it really sucks to have such poor resolution where older 40" was so small it never really matters from across the room.

Specs:
On this MINIX NEO U9-H box (MINIX NEO U9-H)
Runs this OS: CoreElec 9.2.4.2 using build 18.8 (compiled 8-14-2020)
Skin is: Aeon Nox: Silvo skin
OLD TV was 40" Sony Bravia
New TV 75" is this monster LG 8570 (New TV Specs)


If I left out vital information please tell me what it is and also HOW to get it for you as I am a noob. Please help, thank you.

Did I put this question in wrong location? Anyone?

Is it a Skin issue? Is it a Kodi issue? is it a CoreElec issue?

Thank you.

Hmm... No and yes.
It happens that questions aren't answered right away. 'Flickering issues' is a bit vague.

Also, since you are using CoreELEC, if you didn't already, it's best to ask technical stuff first at the CoreELEC forum.
And AFAIK, CE 9.2.5 is out.

Maybe a better term to describe my problem is "Only lowest resolution works, all other have interface flickering/interface duplicating issue". Reference sample video for better understanding of what I am trying to describe? I could be wrong but I don't believe it is limit of hardware "horsepower". I am noob so really if someone watches sample video they might know what that is cause I don't know how to describe it.

I am more than happy to provide more information if I left it out.

Thank you for your assistance.
