Checking listed and solds on ebay there is an alarming number of this model listed right now for parts only with various problems like error codes.
It could be a good deal but it could be not great.

And it has intermittent issues with arc.
Maybe I just have a faulty unit, but I've been very unimpressed

Edit: nevermind, need to click thru link. I went directly to Adorama and searched for the product. I hate it when retailers do this.

With a good (and modern) AV Receiver, you're running all of your devices into the receiver which can handle all the different multichannel audio streams you could throw at it and playing it through the connected surround sound speaker system and then (most often) using simple pass-thru to send the untainted video to the TV for display while keeping the audio and video in proper sync (most common use case).
When it comes to a decision on video upscaling, you can test for yourself if you'd rather ask the receiver to do it or your TV. YMMV on which is the best choice, which is why you can opt for pass-thru of video without having the receiver process it -- leaving the TV to do its thing, if that's your preference. I'd wager most people opt for pass-thru but it's a choice you can make should you find that the AVR seems to handle it better than your TV (pretty unlikely, but again -- your choice).
AND, you're running all your HDMI/etc. cables into the receiver and sending one HDMI to the TV so you're TV is always displaying whatever is active coming in from the receiver without needing to switch or to program a multifunction remote to switch to a different TV input for each device. YMMV on the relative benefit of this, but TV's aren't exactly chock full of separate inputs vs. many households rising device count.
At any rate, AVR's serve a very useful purpose in doing that they do best and allow TV's to simply do what THEY do best.
