That was a difference between analogue and digital to be fair, so you are trying to compare apples and oranges. On a quality HDTV at optimal viewing distance for its size, yes, DVD quality does look bad in comparison. I suppose that you will not be buying a HDTV in this case, your 3mp camera is perfect for your needs, and your desktop is running in 800x600x4bpp. If that's good enough for you, good luck to you.
All of that is irrelevant in any case, as the film industry will slowly push what they see to be in their interests, and HD is just that, be it a download or on a BD. Consumers can jump and shout and create as much as they like saying that they will never adopt HD movies, but in the end you will be forced to, and you will see it starting with blockbuster titles released up to 3 months first on Blu-ray rather than DVD and the BD version having a lot of extra content. The end game of course is when they stop releasing certain films on DVD full stop, and that day will come.
