"Almost Great"
Pros: HDMI switching, support of HDMI 1.3a, OSD over HDMI
Cons: The price is great, but you get poor video performance.
Summary: I bought the Onkyo 605 due to the great reviews from CNET. Unfortunately, I have found that high-def HDMI video signals are most definitely not just passed through to my TV. Dark blue and off-white gradients become pixelated and in some cases definitive lines between shades were apparent. These video issues were only present when sent through the Onkyo 605. With the HDMI cables directly to the TV, the picture is awesome (from both the cable box & PS3).
The HDMI switching, up-conversion of analog sources, and the cool setup features were not enough to overlook the abysmal video performance. This was enough for me to return the Onkyo... downgrading to my old HK AVR630
