Yes, 1080p is A HUGE upgrade from 720p.

If you have a PC with a 1080p capable screen, go watch a youtube video at 720p and fullscreen it, then go watch the same one at 1080p and fullscreen it. There's your answer.

 

720p = 921,600 pixels

900p = 1,296,000

1080p = 2,073,600 pixels 

 

900P (If we maintain the 16:9 ratio) is 1,440,000 pixels.
Rarely is 900P used in a 16:10 ratio.

Most 720P TV's I have come across are actually 1366x768 panels.  Which is 1,049,088 Pixels and do benefit with content that is higher than 720P (Aka. 1280x720). Albeit only slightly.

And go 4k. Don't look back.
