Yeah, I figured as much and it was only noticeable on my TV.
Since you mentioned the RK3576 boards, I was reading this: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/friendlyelec-nanopi-r76s/236429
From a performance and cost standpoint it is less powerful than the R6C/R6S but more powerful than the R5C and R3S. DTS files for the Rockchip RK3576 are already in the mainline kernel so it shouldn't be difficult to get OpenWRT running on it either.
Just curious if this also applies to LibreElec ?

Came to this post as it mentions R3S

There is the NanoPi R3S LTS which has HDMI on RK3566. See https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?rout…&product_id=311

Any chance it may ever be supported by libreelec?

See if https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…nopi-r3s.img.gz boots and runs?

I'd love to have a R3S LTS on hand to try. First wanted to know if it might ever be supported, and your link says it might. I'll try to get one this black friday

Ahh, I'm not interested to add support for boards that nobody is using so it's not in the official list right now. The board appears to have upstream kernel and u-boot support so adding it is a trivial task. How it then works is a different set of questions; Rockchip is still maturing but moving in the right direction.

For a router PC with no reference to a GPU I'd wait for more information.

It has HDMI and the SoC has a GPU in silicon .. so I'd guess that's okay
