I was very happy with DVD quality when I first got my projector. In November, Comcast began offering HD via cable in my area, so I signed up. There is no comparison...it's so much more than adding another "really."
On a 34" 16:9 set, I'd say the difference is definitely noticeable, but not stunning. Get yourself an RPTV or front projector, watch a few HD programs, and DVD becomes woefully inadequate. Every DVD I own that I've seen in HD is now disappointing, no matter how good the transfer seemed initially. And films I haven't seen in HD are disappointing because I expect so much more now. Even reference titles like Training Day and AOTC look soft to me because I know there should be more detail than there is.
