OK, reminded me about doing the basics first.

Seems like a failing HDMI port on my 3 way HDMI switch as moving it to
another input stops the green speckled effect.

Just to be sure tried different HDMI cables in the original HDMI port on
the HDMI switch and still get the same issue so hopefully narrowed it
down.

FWIW my first thought was the cable. In the past I had a 'red speckle'
effect, but a change of cable removed it.

The basic problem here is that the 'technical' specs for HDMI cabling are
in terms of electronic engineering, utter crap. So with devices and cables
it is a lottery if you are over the edge of what will work, or not.
