For myself I can't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. Maybe I'm just too far away from the screen or the screen is too small but that's just how I am.

However, I can easily notice the difference between low quality 720p and high quality. A big black square will look the same but can be 720p or 1080p without being able to tell the difference so you just have to focus on the textures being presented. a good quality 720p image will look nicer than a poor quality 1080p image

This is not always true.  Eventually the extra detail is not noticable without the extra pixels.  Believe me BF4 at medium looks the same as ultra in 720p.

Oh I definetely believe you :) My wording was a bit ambigious basically in saying that a bad image looks worse than the good one :p So with your example, the 1080p is not bad enough ;) I know 1080p is superior to 720p. If you notice the differences great, you are perceptive. I just can't :(
