I have to use an HDMI to Component adapter due to how my house was wired. It's just odd that my 5+ year old ATI graphics card had the necessary refresh rates 'out of the box' and the NUC needed some coaxing. I'm certainly not trying to dissuade anyone from purchasing the D34010WYK, cause it's great, I just wanted to post my solution in case anyone else had a similar issue.
HDMI to component sounds all kind of nasty. The real question would be if you ran HDMI direct would it work.
No I think the real question is why one video card works with the hardware and one doesn't.
HDMI is digital and component video is analog so this is not a simple case of an adapter cable. HDMI to component requires a full digital converter and all of the potential issues such as HDMI handshake problems, HDCP problems etc. the other video card might simply work because it is older and less strict with HDCP. Frankly I would rewire with HDMI myself but it is not my house.
