I know I have some of these settings already set but perhaps not the exact same setup. My audio is going to the TV so i assume i should use PCM? I haven't changed any of the audio settings.
Try... (make sure Kodi is selected to "Expert" - bottom Left)
Android Settings > Playback Settings > HDMI Self Adaptation > Level 1
Kodi Settings > Player Settings > Videos > Adjust Display Refresh Rate > Start/Stop
Kodi Settings > Player Settings > Videos > Sync Playback to Display > OFF
Kodi Settings > System Settings > Audio > Reset Above Settings to Default
Then only select the Audio passthrough Settings you require. Do NOT mess with the number of Audio channels.
Note: VC-1 Bluray Rips never play properly with AMLogic Android - you have to use LibreELEC Kodi Krypton.
Interlaced content will not play properly on AMLogic Android Kodi Krypton either - you have to use LibreELEC Kodi Krypton.
Personally you are better keeping your Android system Screen Resolution at 1080p and let your 4K TV do the 1080p > 4K upscaling.
Only switch to a 2160p Android Screen Resolution when you want to view 4K content.
If you use LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - all that stuff is handled automatically.

Looks like PQ is better than the AndroidTV rom with Kodi 17.6 - is that at all possible?? Given that there doesn't seem to be one box to-rule-them-all I'm wondering if the LE/9-H combo is maybe the best one around - not only in Android but even beating Windows??

There is something very particular to your setup causing issues.
