As you said in your other post to each their own. Yet one of the first hd-dvds I bought, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, showed a huge difference between my dvd version and the HD version, both in clarity and even more so in color reproduction. And that was on a 32" HD ready CRT tube with 600 lines of resolution. It didn't even support 720p, ran in 1080i. Plus it was one of the earlier movies on HD-DVD which has half the bandwidth of blu-ray.
No amount of upscaling can hide the 4 to 7 mbps mpeg2 video stream with 360x240 color resolution (quarter of 720x480)
