I watch Blu-Rays on my 32" 720p tv and I definitely notice a difference in video and sound quality (surround sound). I put a DVD on and there's definitely a difference in quality. But the difference isn't something everyone would appreciate or make a big fuss over. I'm just a huge movie buff with a deep appreciation of movies so I find Blu-rays amazing

Before I got an HDMI cable for my PS3, I watched a couple blu-rays through component on my 60" Sony SXRD (so 720p). I was underwhelmed by the picture quality. After I got my HDMI, however, I went back and watched them again, and I was amazed at the difference in clarity. Oh, and once I upgraded my surround sound receiver so I could take advantage of the Blu-ray HD sound, I was actually even more impressed at that difference!

Actually, the biggest advantage to "HD" is progressive scanning, rather than just sheer resolution. I would rather watch something in 720p than in 1080i (seriously, interlacing a huge resolution like that looks like garbage).

At any rate, the increased resolution from 480p to 720p is noticeable and still worth watching. 1080p looks impressive on larger screens, but I wouldn't say you were "missing" the point of Blu-Ray watching just because you're watching in 720p. I would say that you're missing a lot more from not using surround sound than you are from using a lower than 1080p resolution.
