have one other dumb question that I have not found a definitive answer to. I see all these fairly inexpensive Intel NUC boxes that you test, but it appears they come without an operating system. Where do you get the Windows OS and how much $$$$?
thanks

Thanks for that link, answered my questions. It will eventually cost around $120 to activate it. That is why I prefer the inexpensive boxes with an activated Windows 10. It is my understanding that MS allows the manufactures of certain inexpensive hardware to purchase the license for $10.
I will NOT replace my Windows 7 desktop PC with the free Windows 10, but I do like these inexpensive Intel boxes running an activated version of Windows 10 connected to my TV. I am waiting for an upgrade of these boxes with 4gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage. That will be the end of those "cheap" Intel boxes, because MS will stop providing the $10 license to the manufacturers of these "cheap boxes.

Thanks... I have a Denon AVR as well, but haven't watched a whole movie yet w/the driver fix you suggested. Will need to keep my eyes (and ears) open for this.
With regard to graphics drivers, it seems totally wacky that older, dated drivers work better than the latest in some Intel h/w.
