Upconverting is different – this will simply take a S-Video, or RGB signal and convert if for output by HDMI. It won’t so any scaling on it, the picture won’t be any better.
Upscaling on the other hand is where the signal is scaled, and in theory improved so is worth having, and is one of the major benefits of the 606 over the 605.

Hello……

Can someone please shed a little more light on this first difference between 605 & 606 :

“The 606 will upscale any signal to 1080i regardless of connection – the 605 would only upconvert ”

Is not upscaling and upconverting one and the same thing ? Or does the phrase “regardless of connection” has any significnance here ?

Also, has anyone visually seen the difference between the 2 ? Are 605/606 any good at this task ?

Thanks.
