Well, actually...

Practically everyone who has seen SD on my Toshiba has said "Wow, this is fantastic! Why does your TV look so good and mine looks so crummy?" I see the difference but it makes me very happy when others don't. I give credit to Toshiba. The old projection method gives a much more "theatrical screen" experience than the new digital displays, but it seems more people want the new sets because they are much brighter and have more contrast than the old-school sets. Personally, I've adjusted my new LCD down to "Pro" levels so it doesn't look like I'm staring into the sun and I don't need to wear suntan lotion to watch TV.
Yes...

That is why when customers come into my store and they see our TV's I don't only tell them but show them exactly what they are going to get with that TV. I show them HD then show them SD and vice versa. When you show and tell them they know if they are going to buy the TV now knowing what to expect from it. It is great working at Best Buy to be able to have the capability to show customer who haven't seen either standard on an HD television. It makes a big difference
