Scrambled screen when booting ESXi 5.5u2 installer via UEFI... comes up fine with BIOS boot..

I'm trying to set up a home server using a SuperMicro X10SL7-F + e3-1241v3.

 

I burned a DVD and am able to get the installer running booting through BIOS (was able to install onto an on-board USB stick and stood up a test linux VM... no sweat).

 

I decided to re-install using a UEFI boot instead and it seems my monitor is displaying it in the incorrect resolution (monitor claims the installer is using 800x600 yet when I use the BIOS boot, it says 1024x768). (I see ESXi yellow and it seems to responsive to my input).

 

FWIW I also tried creating a uefi compatible usb stick and that just gives me an error (Command line is empty, Syntax Error)

 

Any suggestions for moving forward? Am I wrong in assuming UEFI is preferred in this day and age?
