I just didn't want to risk it messing anything else up when I finally got OE working for me just fine otherwise. It's just annoying to know there is the potential for tweaking through the autostart.sh but that I can't actually get it do what I tell it to.
Do you see a difference when running the command from ssh? Changing the setting is instant, so it's easy to test what value works for you.

The Core i3 has HD4400 GPU.

The i3 may provide a quieter experience. The NUC is small and heat is an issue. It took a while to finally get my i3 NUC silent. I still haven't put in the BT/WiFi card be because of a concern for heat issues.
I guess we will just have to wait and see how much better the new processors behave from that perspective. I had to return a NUC because of a defective fan. Great service from Intel I might add.
In any case it would be nice to have a passively cooled version of the NUC. The current crop of replacement cases seem neat but aren't cheap, and not easy to find.

Just look at this 4k video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-GYrbecb88

Unless you have a 60+ inch 4K TV, I don't think you'll see any noticeable difference from a normal viewing distance, but others might disagree.
