As a primarilly PC user, the difference between 900p and 1080p is obvious to me, as is the difference between 1080p and the more or less standard 1440p i play at.

I don't believe the PC upscales the resolution the same way consoles do.  I think the PC just stretches the image.  If I set Dota2 to 900p, it just looks horrible.  The difference is nothing like that for consoles. 

It would depend on your video card and monitor, but I guarantee you that the image isn't just stretched.

I have a gtx 770 so I can max it fine now.  Before I had something that I could max at 900p, or play at 1080p with low settings.  I usually used 900p, but the size of everything was just so different.

Here, this is uncompressed pics showing exactly how similiar the two are for consoles. Upscaled is a bit more blurry, but when you are actually playing, you won't tell.  Which is why I hate this debate. 

The upscaled image isn't showing for me.

*edit* -- As to the original debate, I can definitely tell the difference, but it doesn't bother me.  And you're right.  You kind of stop paying attention when you get into the thick of things.  I've had to lower resolution on a few of my PC games just to keep frame rate up, and one step down from 1080p is considerably harder to notice than something like 720p.
