I have a 37" Sharp Aquos (720p) and my friend ha s 42" Samsung (1080p) and I can't tell the difference from where we sit (Appx 10' at both houses). As a matter of fact (may be biased towards my own gear) I think my TV has a better picture when watching HD content and playing HD video games.

True.
The human eye has only so much ability to detect detail.
There are
charts the give rules of thumb for minimum resolutions at certain screen sizes and certain distances. If you sit pretty close to a big screen, you may notice the pixels on a 720p, whereas on a 1080p it would be fine.
If you are 10' away, you really won't start to notice a difference until the screen size is 50" or greater.
On top of that, each screen can have different colour levels, contrast, black levels, and so on that will make a huge difference in your enjoyment.
So between you and your friend, you probably won't notice a resolution difference (at least not until you sit a lot closer), but you probably do notice your TV is either set up better, or gives much better colour and contrast.
