I have given up on getting full resolution "HW based" support on my Coffeelake NUC - tried with both passive and active hdmi adapters & edid programmers on the hdmi port. As said in the first post, it just wont work. For now i use 2 systems in tandem, the CFL NUC for 2D viewing and an 8 yr old haswell laptop for 3D.
I want one system to do both, any updated recommendations? The excel sheet in the first post seems outdated...

System requirements:
X64 processor
8GB ram
128GB emmc/m2/ssd
H265 & VP9 decoding
Audio passthrough capable of Atmos
At least 2 usb 3.0 ports
Windows 10 license

I ordered earlier today a j4125 system from AliExpress for 180$ just to see if it supports the full resolution "HW based" mode.

My current system is connected to a bluray drive so kodi is decoding my encrypted 2d/3d bluray discs for viewing on the fly - hence the requirements stated above.

I'm using my Coffeelake I3-8300S with your build and a passive adapter and it works fine. It does not work with the HDMI 2.0 port. I'm not sure about VP9 but H265 4K 10bit and H264 MVC 3D works fine for hardware decode and I'm actually using a VM with only 2 cores assigned. I do have to have Protected Audio Video Path (PAVP) enabled in the bios but I'm guessing NUCs don't have many bios options.
