Do you mean the Kodi homepage? They probably need to run Video calibration to reduce overscan on their TVs.

Also, a bit off topic I know but, how do you find the remote controls of the X96 boxes, what range are they functional at? Do the remote IR receivers work? (I asked as I have some of these boxes and would like to know if issues I have are common to them all )

Thanks for the reply. I've seen one of the LE boxes on a 4k tv, and it seems a bit tricky to be able to view/access the kodi>>settings>>system menu, so I was hoping for a "native" alternative, but if it works, it's easier, and doesn't slow things down, it's easier than reflashing the old crappy android firmware.

As far as the remotes on the X96, they are adequate, but a bit "directionally challenged". My box, beyond the built in IR receiver, did not come with the external IR extender, but I got one from ebay for a few bucks. The extenal receiver helps, and when mounted "line of sight" at the TV, it is tolerable. For $5, you can get a small rf remote w/usb which also works well, but I like to program the IR remote to my (separate) learning remote, so... the remote supplied with the unit, works for my purposes.

This is my first time in this forum.

I have installed (to nand) LE on several X96 amlogic s905x boxes, gave em to friends, but 3 of those friends have 4K TV's and are saying the Kodi menu (under LE) is too large. The original android firmware installed on these X96 boxes was slow, and of course the amlogic accelerator had to be disabled, making video choppy BUT under this android firmware, Kodi did display ok on a 4k tv.

I know the 4k display support is experimental, but does anyone have any suggestions for how to get LE to display on a 4K monitor, hopefully without taking a performance hit. I'd like to avoid restoring stock firmware on these 3 boxes, since it seems tricky and is, essentially, a downgrade.
