I will say that I much prefer the image quality of the Beebox over either of the Intel NUCs. The image is a bit sharper & has a little more pop & depth to it than the Intel NUCs.

Ya know, that sound quite audiophiley. Maybe the NUC's need audiophile grade hdmi cables .

The image quality of the Beebox ... - the quality is totally the same, there is no difference at all. If you tried them on windows, you got a driver issue or some setting wrong.

Nope, all 3 boxes running the same OE 6 updated to 6.0.95.

The first most obvious thing I noticed was the output of the Beebox was significantly sharper, I had to turn the sharpness setting on my HDTV down 5 points from 8 to 3.

I have made extensive A/B comparisons comparing all 3 boxes playing the same material at the same time, comparing the image quality over my Denon. I found the picture quality of the 2 Intel NUCs to be virtually identical (as one would expect). The Beebox has an overall sharper image being output. It's not huge, but it is noticeable.

I stand by my findings.
