Some people have differing standards for whats acceptable, or whats discernible. As soon as you point it out to them, they realize it. I did this with my GF when shopping so she knew what the advantage of a 4k set was. Now, she's not one of those mistakenly watches SD people, but after a quick comparison she was able to pick out what was what and got on board quite fast. This included looking at the same manufacturer too (ie: D65 vs. M65)

Keep in mind, your TV will upconvert SD signal as well (I believe the cable boxes send it as 480i), now it won't be as sharp, because theres just simply too much data to "fill in", but it won't look as ####ty as on an SD TV because of the software.
