Only "work around" for me is now to take a Custom Setting on TV/Beamer and tune it for the NUC with my Calibration Pictures, not 100% Spot on but probably enough for me till there is a better Solution...will try that tomorrow..
Anyway its frustrating even if i just have to change between Picture Modes if i want to use the Nuc..

I tried it with the latest nightlies from Gotham and it's not working there either.

Looking at xbmc code, CalculateYUVMatrix() in xbmc/cores/VideoRenderers/VideoShaders/YUV2RGBShader.cpp makes me very suspicious. I think the translation by -16/255 should not be done and the order of scaling to full range and translating Cb and Cr should be reversed.
Overall, I don't like the way it's structured. Clearly the devs prefer full range output, but I think limited range is better quality. Full range with dithering or higher bpp may provide some benefit when processing is applied, but neither is currently supported.
With the limited range output messed up, it is difficult to demonstrate why it is better than full range. Good news is that if this is the problem, it should be easy to fix.

Does any1 know about how hot the Haswell Nuc can get? We don't have Nuc unit to test yet. If the units gets really hot we will have to put that into consideration . We are trying to build a case that also act as heat sink.

I did downloaded and installed all the drivers, and updated BIOS as well.
When browsing web, looking trough Windows or XBMC menus quality is fine, but when playing HD movies from my NAS,,,,can see the difference between NUC and Boxee.
