There is a huge quality difference when the size gets bigger...

" --- You are absolutely wrong. There is a huge difference in quality between 720p and 1080p on 40" or bigger displays. Actually even on smaller ones it's possible to tell the difference.
The best HD experience is achieved with a 90" or 100" either HD 1080p projector and a proper 1.2 or 1.3 gain quality screen or with LCD/Plasma of the same size.
At that size the viewer can get a lot more spatio-temporal details in his/her eyes cones/rods...
