No problem S on desktops

No problem so far. Really the only option if you want to stream media/content to your TV if you don't have a GPU with HDMI output (NVIDIA etc). Typical desktop and laptop computers only come with an HDMI 1.4 port, which limits the screen resolution to 30Hz. I'm curious why the machine came with MS Windows Pro and not the Home version. Isn't it more expensive? I'm not complaining, just weird. I am using a computer to play media on a Samsung TV through a Sony receiver using two HDMI 2.0 cables. The sound is sent back to the receiver via HDMI. The TV's native screen resolution is 2016p at 60Hz. There are still a few frames lost when streaming from Youtube (1 frame per 30fps), but this could be a broadband issue. It's difficult to stream Netflix through a computer at more than 1080p and I'm still working on it. As with all mini computers, there is a cooling issue. The fan keeps the CPU warm at all times and is louder than a typical laptop.
