720p vs. 1080p: Can You Tell The Difference?

An interesting graph is displayed which supports the use of 720p video for TV and projectors.
If true, then, using a 100" screen with a projector, people who are 20ft or more away from the screen cannot tell the difference.

There is a BIG difference to me when viewing on my 55", 10' or 20' away. On my 65" UHD, any non-1080 picture is ugly as hell.
Directv has always been sending 1080i, which I think is the best mainstream service on the market before going to 4k (or playing a blu-ray). Even then, I notice clarity issues on both of my tv's. Once you stream a solid 4k, you'll see the difference whether 5' or 20' away.
The funny thing is, you never really notice or complain about clarity until you're introduced to the next level.
