Yep. Standard DVDs have the resolution of a standard screen. The two Hi-Def standards have higher resolution.

Take your TFP avatar and blow it up to VGA and you'll see the problem--not enough bits to smoothly cover the resolution you're trying to project.

Like I say, a device called an HD Upsampler tries to interpolate the "pixels between the pixels". Some of them are supposed to do okay.
