I doubt that it'd look better on DVD, because you'd still need to convert to a standard DVD resolution and bitrate (so the real DVD probably wins here). Also, TV's aren't really that great for displaying high resolution images. I'd say my Sony Wega is at the higher end of standard TV sets (I love its anamorphic line squeezing feature) but it really struggles on 800x600 from my computer's TV out, 1024x768 is just horrible. Perhaps that is just a limitation of my GeForce4 card tho.
My recommendation: Watch it on your computer monitor. If your computer can keep up, it'll look way better than any standard TV set.
