I can completely vouch for this statement. Although I've got a 37" 1080p TV, the fact is a film has to be shot on decent cameras to get the best out of Blu-Ray. Planet Earth is a great nature series shot on fantastic cameras, and the quality of the visuals on Blu-Ray has to be seen to be believed.
There is a substantial difference between Blu-Ray and DVD, but whether you will see it depends on the video quality of the film you're watching. Unfortunately, it is currently only the big new blockbusters that will show the differences. I wouldn't replace any film I already own with a Blu-Ray because the difference isn't great enough to justify that, but when I buy a new film I do think about which version to get. I currently buy 40% Blu-Ray / 60% DVD.
