It depends on how big your screen is and how close you are to it. With bigger TVs for cheap these days, more people are able to afford HDTVs at 500USD for 50 inch TVs at 1080p native resolution, and if you sit close enough, there is a difference from 720p to 1080p, but if you sit further away, doesn't make a difference at all. I sit very close to my 40 inch HDTV since it's pretty much what I use for my normal computing(I'm maybe only 1.5 meter away tops.) So 1080p makes quiet a big difference compared to 720p.
