ok so DV is no option at the moment ;(
Whats about the rest - would the AMD handle 4k 60hz hdr ? and What about an nuc?

The Shield TV may still cause some issues with some people wrt Rec 709/2020 gamut content.

(With SDR Rec 709, and Rec 2020?, mapped into a Rec 2020 HDR10 output?) nVidia had SDR/HDR switching which pre-dated official MS HDR support, but now that MS has an HDR approach (i.e. on or off at OS level) then I think this may be deprecated?
Not a Plug n Play solution. Unsure if that combo does auto colorspace switching or you have to manually fiddle around all the time.
Quote:NVIDIA Shield - will be OK for 4K HDR10 only, but some demanding users report issues with washed out color output when viewing regular SDR content on various 4K HDR displays. Unless you manually fiddle with Android OS display settings all the time for mixed SDR / 4K HDR usage.
Quote:Make sure you can return the device if you cannot put up with such ongoing issues, any fix will NOT come from NVIDIA that quickly.
See Post #1 of this thread that has all the links discussing such Shield issues.
Quote:Both combo's are the ones to consider if you use really demanding graphically intensive Skins like Aeon Madnox, due to the powerful GPU's in such devices that can draw graphic user interfaces really quickly.
AMLogic S905D or S912 devices (Gigabit ethernet / 1000M only devices for 4K HDR & Atmos):
DIY S912 devices will be the fastest when running LibreELEC Krypton or CoreELEC Leia - but LE / CE (Linux) Kodi support may finish at Kodi Leia due GPU drivers used.
Great bang for the buck - suggested combo - something like THIS (click) or a MINIX U9 (A2 lite remote is highly recommended - works with everything)
There is good Open Source coding work happening to write compatible Linux GPU drivers for such S912 devices - so who knows what will eventuate by this time next year for Kodi v19 M use.
Otherwise consider the S905D devices like the really well supported Vero 4K+ or the DIY MECOOL Ki Pro, those will have a longer term Kodi future.
Read the Vero4K+ support forums for any current issues.
Don't need Bluray Atmos audio and want to dip your toe in 4K HDR -->> the cheap - 2018 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K with a USB3 > Gigabit Ethernet adapter
