I don't know.  Can someone that already has one of these devices let
us know?  What's the difference between sampling up to 525 lines from
480 and sampling down from 600 to 525?  Can you tell the difference
when you switch the PC from 640x480 to 800x600?

Is the $35 difference worth getting the "Plus" unit?  The
manufacturer doesn't have the old specs on the website anymore, so I
don't know if there are any other enhancements, like the flicker
filter, that justify a new unit.  The other advantage I could see in
not having to switch the PC to 640x480 is that if you're driving a
monitor and the TV at the same time you may not want to have your PC
at 640x480 for whatever reason.
