that's all fine but if you use the full screenshots and let people watch them on their tv, i think many won't really see a difference.

Opening both those windows in my browser and setting them to native res makes a big difference in clarity and contrast switching back and forth.
Sure that's from 3ft away from a 15.4" 1080p screen, which is the same as sitting 10ft away from a 52" 1080p screen.

The difference only gets bigger when you see it in motion where aliasing artifacts and sub pixel detail really start to show. There's a reason pc games offer uber sampling or rendering at 4K downscaled to 1080p to improve the image. Upscaling an already anti aliased picture always looks worse.
It will be nice to finally be able to play more console games in native display resolution. And if you happen to have a 1280x720 or 1366x768 tv, don't worry, downsampling results in a much nicer picture then vice versa.
