thank you!
would this mini pc be a good choice:
GEEKOM Air12 Lite, Intel N100 4 Kerne, max. 3,4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, HDMI + DP-Dual-Screen-Display
or would 4GB of RAM be enough? or maybe 16GB be better ?

Hi! I’m new here and came across this project while looking for a way to play Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL on a PC-based setup.
I haven’t bought any hardware yet and would appreciate a recommendation before I do.
my setup / use case:
- TV: LG OLED77CX9LA
- sources: UHD Blu-ray remuxes in MKV, Profile 7 FEL (single-track, BL+EL+RPU); MP4 dual track possible too
- goal: DV Standard (TV-led) output with full FEL reconstruction, no frame drops
what I’ve gathered so far:
- Intel 8th gen and newer are listed as supported. But 8th/9th gen iGPUs (UHD 620/630) only output HDMI 1.4 natively and depend on an LSPCon chip for HDMI 2.0. Does DV signaling work reliably through LSPCon at all?
- N100/N150 are listed with occasional frame drops on some FEL files.
- the reference hardware seems to be an i7-11390H / Iris Xe.
my questions:
- is an 11th gen Iris Xe (e.g. i5-1135G7) a safe minimum for FEL, or is 12th/13th gen noticeably better?
- has anyone successfully used an 8th/9th gen machine with LSPCon for DV output, or should I avoid those entirely?
- are there specific mini PC models that users have already confirmed working (ideally with an LG OLED)?
- is dual-channel RAM required to get stable FEL playback on Iris Xe?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
