you only have to p[lay 4k video once you got box on.
I'm sure Beelink are trying to fix the problem. ...

I will be happy to chill out when Beelink has fixed a box it sold with many issues :)

I tested the image with numbers for the dark screen and on both my GT1 and mini MXIII II there are no numbers visible, just black screen. Otherways, they both seem to work fine now, Kodi can't be exited in normal way but via home button.

I had the same problem.
I accidentally came across the solution.

Install from google store MX Player Free.
Then install the codec it from google store ARMv7 NEON.

After this installation Kodi shows me normal, high-quality image.

Nope. that still does not work on mine.  still dark
only way to make it work on mine is to use a 4k video and screen adjuster free

I didn't know I had this problem as well, until i saw the ''Before the Flood'' documentary on Youtube last evening.
I started watching it on my computer (the first 10 min.) and then I've change to my projector, where my GT1 is connected. The video was really dark in comparison to the computer. So, i quickly inserted my microSD card in it and I played a 4K video that I had on it. After that everything went smoothly. The documentary on youtube was not dark anymore.

I still need to check out if after a restart or a shut down everything stays OK. Hopefully I don't need to play a 4K video every time, to have the videos look normal and not to dark.

I'm waiting for an update to fix this and the other known issues.
