I'm recieving an D54250WYKH tomorrow, and have a question regarding which media is the easiest to get both video and audio through?
I have a TV and a reciever, and want to be able to send the sound for the reciever to decode (DD/DTS).
Does it matter if I use the mini DP och mini HDMI port for that?
Option 1
NUC -> TV: mini-DP -> HDMI
NUC -> Reciever: mini-HDMI -> HDMI
Option 2
NUC -> TV: mini-HDMI -> HDMI
NUC -> Reciever: mini-DP -> HDMI
Thankful for your input!

So you want to feed three screens from one NUC? A Monitor, the TV and a projector?
Why?

Of course it gets hotter. The energy has to flow somewhere! Anyone who tries this should be aware of the risks. That's why I posted the link to the full review and not a short how to. It would be foolish to try this without knowing what you're doing.

Have seen too much in this thread. I don't trust 95% to be able to read 4 pages of text ... so good that the warning has been written here.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
