I have got i5 4th Gen NUC yesterday.
Didnt have a lot of time, but fast testing with OpenElec (I havent got SSD yet, so no Windows test yet) reveals that there is still problem with contrast and the picture quality (PQ) is total crap in comparison to xtreamer pro, which I also own.
I meant to use NUC as a replacement for xtreamer, since XBMC provides much much better interface. But on the end I am watching movies and not GUI, so having a nice GUI over bad bad PQ is not an option for me.
This could be avoided if Intel would expose API for contrast setting and since Intel can not or for other reason actively ignore this fact for new more than a year already I would say forget the NUC for good PQ (at least over OE, for Win dont know yet), since I dont believe that Intel will do something around this problem.

When I had over 6 months ago NUC i3 3rd Gen, I was able to set brightness and contrast in XBMC if I choose sofware decoding which remediated the PQ problem.
I was targeting NUC i5 4th gen overpower just to use SW decoding, but now I cannot find brightness and contrast settings even if I choose SW decoding.
This was tested with OE 3.2.3 generic and intel over USB live stick.
Does anyone know, what should I do to get those settings back with SW decoding instead of HW deconding?

If anyone has some test cases you would like to know... let me know, I will try it for you.

Regards

p.s. I have a safe failback for NUC if PQ Will not work out. It will be then a replacement for actual desktop home computer.
