As far as netflix goes, I think a big part of it is a real CRAP version of Netflix on the Samsung TV. just for giggles, I moved the Apple TV up from the basement and connected it to the TV and the picture quality is much better. But still very highly compressed on quite a few of the shows.

I am thinking that 1080 is as far as I need to go. I have a Kodi box that I use for playing my .mkv TV shows that I get off the internet (as I don't have cable or a PVR). The HD 1080p shows look fantastic. But even the lower quality shows that are encoded at 720x480 look nearly as good and on par easily with a DVD movie.

Properly adjust a TV to give good colour and contrast/brighness and lower quality sources can look just as good.
