played with it a bit, removed the write protection and installed stand alone OE
it was running nicely for a few days (connected to sammy tv via hdmi)

took it today to work to show it to some guys that were interested in buying it too, connected to some monitors with DP
i can only see the seabios screen and nothing further, tried to install some linux distros but i can see only the install splash screen booting and nothing further again
parted magic working well and seems that hd and ram are ok

any ideas?

no, but I can verify that DisplayPort works correctly here on my Dell 2408WFP. Assume you've tried more than one cable/monitor?

must say, that i've tested with dp to hdmi adapter at work - maybe that's what caused it

Normally I don't even notice tearing, and I play most games with vsync off, but it was REALLY bad in Netflix. You couldn't miss it.

Besides that, the GPU hang seems finally be fixed. I pushed the relevant commit to OpenELEC master yesterday.

Is the GPU hang fix in Kodi or the openELEC video driver? Any idea when it'll come to normal linux?
