If you want to use the NUC with a HDMI2.0 receiver then i would definitively say: Stay away! Neither you can use it for 3D, nor to play 1080p/23,976Hz material with audio passthrough. And because the NUC only has this crippled HDMI2.0-Port and one VGA port (@Intel: WTF in 2017?) you even can not use the workaround with the DVI port as on the ASROCK boards.
Are the issues going to be resolved? Hopefully yes. Timeframe? Good question! If you remind the braswell issues we may have to wait for a long time. This time its even more complicated because the solution not only depends on Intel, but also on Megachips who is the manufacturer of the DP2HDMI converter chip.
If you would like to jump on the Apollo Lake wagon today, i would suggest to buy one of the ASROCK boards instead of the NUCs (because of the DVI workaround).
