No. If the room allows, try viewing your 37" screen from 16 feet away. Even with perfect eyesight, your eyes won't be able to see the individual pixels of SDTV (which are about 1 sq mm). So making the pixels 4 times smaller (HDTV) will make no difference to the detail you can see.

The only difference you may see is fewer encoding artifacts on moving scenes due to the higher bitrate.
