OK... just being testing the last hour or so.

I am sorry (also for myself) but PQ is crap and this is all due to Intel ignorance to support Linux distros.

Using Full RGB is way off.
Using Limited RGB is washed picture or like you would watch TV over cigarette smoke. But dark areas also does not have details which could be calibrated with contrast setting if there was any.

Thats not all unfortunatelly. Comparing the same movie frame or static picture between NUC/OE/XBMC and XtreamerPro reveals that picture on NUC is blured.

I will have to wait about a week to get SSD, then I will try the same on Windows.

But in the mean time I would say dont buy NUC for this purpose, since Intel does ignore this problem from the begining of the HD GPU series and I would say that that suggest Intel will continue to do so in the future.

And believe me, I would really like to be wrong here, since I think NUC would be really the best way to go XBMC at the moment.

About fan. It is silent when playing movies, but in idle/gui it is not (running confluence, and I havent even try AeonNox). This I would say is the problem of XBMC. I hope Gotham will sort something out here.

That sucks. I will now have to go home and do a frame by frame myself..
