Intel Nuc or something else...

1st Official Post

    I am looking to buy myself a new Nuc, probably get the NUC10I3FNK with 4gb memory, unless some of you feel I should get more memory or go for the NUC10I5FNH?. According to the Intel spec, the Intel Graphics supports HDR and 10bit. I am wondering if anyone can confirm this? I have some content that is HDR but I cannot say I notice any difference between a 1080p video and an HDR video. I am using an Optoma UHD65 Projector.

    I could probably also go for the NUC8I3BEH which is about $20 odd cheaper, just wondering what everyone's thoughts are?

    If I run Libreelec, would it run the HDR 10bit straight out of the "box" or are there some tweaks one needs to do to get this to work?

    In case of Intel hardware, I'd go for the latest/newest version, $20 shouldn't be a problem. 4GB is more than enough for LibreELEC (a RPi W with 512MB runs it too).

    HDR is the bigger problem for now, as this is not yet widely support by Kodi / LibreELEC. There is a Windows HDR thread on the Kodi forum, but there is no specific HDR support on Linux yet.

    10-bit shouldn't be a problem, that is handled on my 'older' Intel HD605 GeminiLake machine as well.

    Okay so do I or do I not go with the Gen 10 Nuc :) Its seems as if the Nuc is the problem or is it just the Linux version that is the problem for now? If I ran windows 10 and then put on Kodi, I would be able to run HDR? Does the 1st revision of 8th Gen support HDR?
