Dynamic refresh rate switching works on the Minix U1 with HDMI self-adaptation level 2 and also on XBMC for Minix. It doesn't seem to work with other Kodi versions.

Hopefully, you will get it after their New Year holidays. They seem to have sent out samples to every video reviewer on Earth. The one that I have was purchased personally. As a policy, even when offered, I don't accept samples.

Level 2 is for frame rate matching refresh rate switching, Level 1 for 3:2 pulldown @ 60Hz.

The build that @dukester has mentioned outputs HDMI signal with 3D structure that will automatically put the display into 3D mode. It also does HD audio passthrough. So, it is not like we really need VidOn.
For some odd reason, 3D doesn't work correctly with XBMC for Minix on the U1. It is as if there is an extra half image.
