Set the "HDMI Black Level" setting on your TV to Low or Auto. It's in General -> External Device Manager.

Could be a hardware issue with the DVBSky. I had S960 tuner which gone bad after about 3 years.
-
the disadvantages
There are no disadvantages. That Arch Wiki is outdated and makes no sense.
-
So is there supposed to be any benefit to running this on my i7-10510U laptop instead of the latest official nightly?
No idea. I suggested that build for troubleshooting purposes.
FYI: X11 will be deprecated and replaced with GBM in future versions of Generic LibreELEC (probably after LE10).

- Kodi-GBM instead of Kodi-X11
- Open-GLES instead of OpenGL
- Mesa 20.2.0
- Linux 5.9-rc7
- Experimental HDR patches (currently known to work only on Gemini Lake hardware).
-
-
something bare-bone (without RAM/HDD/SSD) would be preferred, but I'm open to any suggestions.
I can suggest one of the Asrock Gemini Lake ITX boards. J4105B-ITX or J4125B-ITX will do just fine. It can do 4K@60Hz (native HDMI 2.0) and HDR already works with experimental LibreELEC GBM images.

That's a passive adapter. You need an active DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter.
-
But when booting official release without HDR patches/advanced, I can choose my HDMI display and blank the laptop panel.
Standard Generic builds are very different, they use X11 windowing system. HDR-enabled builds don't use that. I suppose something needs to be fixed in Kodi in order to enable output to an external display on your laptop.
There is no Prime DRM option to activate on Kodi Player windows config...
DRM PRIME is a Linux thing.
HDR will not work in Windows on GLK. No HDR support in Windows driver AFAIK.

WinSCP will reveal a lot more folders
-
So again SMP, is there a way to boot from a GLK laptop
I'm not familiar with this hardware, so no idea.
-
Use WinSCP or something similar.

Copy /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary to /storage/.kodi/addons. Then you can edit the xml files.
-
Is there a way i can replace the firmware in LibreElec from commandline?
Copy it to /storage/.config/firmware and reboot.

Chroma subsampling : 4:4:4 on the one that won't play - maybe the pi's decoder doesn't support it?
No hardware decoder would support it. It should be playable with software ffmpeg decode though.

ASRock B360M + i3-8100 + DP2HD4K60H
AFAIK DisplayPort 1.2 does not support HDR so that should not work.
-
The 8-bit patch is for lspcon only. It has nothing to do with Gemini Lake.
