Let's use math!

Omega=2*arctan(9(screen size in inches)/((337)^(1/2)*2*(vertical screen resolution)*(distance from screen in inches)))

For a 1080p image on a 50inch screen at 5 feet, omega=.02167

For a 720p image in the same setting, omega=.03251

For a 1080p image on a 5 inch screen at 1 foot, omega=.01084

For a 720p image in the same setting, omega=.01626

 

The results are conclusive! It's the same percent change for each setting! However with diminishing returns, the 50inch screen going from 720p to 1080p would be more noticable! Math!
