Gave it a go on my NUC7 which worked great with everything I tested (1080, 2160, 10bit etc).
For some reason I get smoother flow if I turn off Sync playback to display. There's a little micro stutter with it enabled.

That is really odd. I don't understand your "of course". You know the calibration is per resolution / refreshrate. Means if you configure it for 60hz it's only done for 60hz.
Do you says: you configure overscan for 1920x1080 and play movie NOT adjusting refreshrate (it stays on 60 hz) and you still see these artefacts?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

fritsch,
I only test with live tv through TVH. resolution is 1920x1080 - 50Hz. When i reset overscan to 0,0 i don't see artifacts when opening menu and select another channel, but the menu's (like the time in the upper right corner) are displayed behind the borders of the screen. That's why i don't see the artifiacts; we stretch the image so the artifacts are behind the border of the screen. If we again correct this using overscan so the menu fits again, we see the artifacts.

same here on latest LE and Ubuntu.
Its looks like problem only appear when we play some videos, livetv etc. some part of gui stay behind, or if something going out of area of TV screen like progres bar which slide to bottom
and for sure this is not caused by Calibration, i had everything on 0,0 on main TV, when i connected NUC to other TV i didnt touch calibration and this artefacts was expose becuse video screen was slighty smaller than TV. The Calibration tool after we overscan picture to size of TV i belife only hide this issue not resolve.

For further confusion, perhaps I've had a similiar problem:
Last week I switched from a braswell motherboard (j3160) to a gemini lake (j4105), OS was a self compiled LibreElec 8.90.005. I've never had any artifacts with the old motherboard, but after switching the motherboard (without updating the OS, I've connected the same old unchanged system SSD to the new motherboard, same case, same cables, only other changed component was the RAM) I got the artifacts. There was not much missing to send back the motherboard, because I thought that was a hardware related problem, but I've found no indications with stress, memtest, ...
I've updated to LibreElec 8.90.006, created a xorg.conf (I've never had one before, so modesetting driver should be used in the past) in storage/.config, forced intel as driver, enabled sna, dri3, TearFree and disabled TripleBuffer (in kodi and xorg) and now I got the artifacts only one time an hour or even more rarely.
I've never calibrated my screen (it's still on 0,0), default resolution is 1920x1080@50 and I never had the artifacts while playing a movie (only in library views, epg, ...) and only on top, not on the bottom of the screen, but they look identical to the youtoube video. I could send a debug log if needed, but it would be really huge, because the problem is nearly gone with these changes and I don't know which change has "solved" my problem, because I changed all this before I've read something about artifacts here

Hey all,
Last I heard retroplayer was working but everytime I try to run a game, the emulator (all of them) give me a dependency error with libretro. Anyone else getting this error?
