I figure the reason is because the jump from a decent DVD player on a decent HD TV up to HD-DVD (or blu-ray) is not as significant as regular TV to HDTV which I sort of compare to what would be like to go from VHS to HD-DVD (or Blu-ray).

All depends on the size of your tv. My first hdtv was a 34", and I would agree that dvd's looked fine. When I went to a 100" projector and a 50" plasma, dvd's started looking pretty crappy to the point where it is kind of a distraction now (especially on a poor quality dvd) to watch movies on dvd. And even more distracting is cable/broadcast hdtv compression artifacts that seem especially prevalent in action movies.
