Some people won't notice it. But as you become more accustomed to watching HD Video, you notice it if you go back to standard definition. I don't really watch sd channels on TV anymore, and I rarely watch s-dvd's, unless it's TV series or movies I can't get on high def. One thing that is often corrected is edge enhancement. Funny really, because I didn't notice it too much when I only watched standard def. An example would be "A Few Good Men" where the edge enhancement on the s-dvd is terrible, but it's gone on the bd version. Detail pops often as do the colors when you watch on high def.
But personally, I really like the sound upgrades for high def. I think that you get a much more immersive and dynamic experience, even if it's a 640 kbps DD+ track.
