trust me, I have professional equipment and connection as I'm editing at home and i never seen Kodi kicking it's ass. I'm demanding audience when it comes to visual. My monitor is 5k retina and 1080 is just not the measure to judge the image or compression. It is like saying there is only one shade of grey. Just look at the color range on Imdb trailer as I posted and look at the Kodi, same trailer. I believe it all speaks for itself. ANd sound is not spreading on 7 channels even if you do have such setup monitors ( or speakers), it is still two. Or I might be wrong? There is more than two audio channels on Kodi?

And thank you for your input blue!
