Did you read my comment on 113?

I can't tell you much more! I never experienced the black block issue neither in Win nor in Openelec, perhaps I just don't see it (good for me). But I had problems autoconnecting my USB Ext2 HDD in Win 7 - the settings in Ext2sd wouldn't stick although I did it like described here (in German, but the pictures should give you an idea):

The same settings now work in Win 8. As long as I don't install Speedfan. That might be the reason, why it didn't work in Win 7.

But the even bigger problem was, that the browsing through XBMC wasn't fluent in Win 7, whereas I have no problems in Win 8 or Openelec.

Regarding 4k: I don't have an UHD TV. But if you point me to a 4k testvideo I will try it and report back.

Overall the i3 is great - as long as you use Openelec or Win 8 (I didn't try other Linux distros). I use it as an emulator gamestation, too. With the right settings in bios it's inaudible.

The network speeds are great. I can copy video files from my PC to the nuc to a connected usb 3.0 hdd with speeds between 60-90 MB per second. This was the main reason for me to wait for the Haswell Nucs - the USB 3.0 ports!
