I’ve got a practical example from the other day.

Me and my wife were walking around best buy and walked past the TVs and I decided to see at which distances could I see pixels and stuff on their smaller TVs (think like a bit bigger than your average computer monitor).

720p I noticed from 3-4 feet away

1080p I had to be a lot closer

However once I backed off to a reasonable viewing distance for their sizes, there wasn’t super obvious differences in picture quality (besides color and stuff because two different TVs). Edges seemed a ‘little’ fuzzy on the 720p at times, but someone who wasn’t looking for differences probably wouldn’t have noticed
