I have a 720p (actually 768p), TV, and it is a huge improvement over regular dvd. you have 1920x1080 scaled down to 1366x768 instead of just 640x480 (of a dvd) scaled to 1366x768. It means 1 million unique pixels compared to 300,000.

Isn't that the same as asking why hd vs sd if you only have 720p?
