All else is never equal but I tend to just measure the number of pixels per second as a max amount of detail. And by that token HDTV maxes out at 1920x540x60 (720p/60 is similar) which is WAY better than 576i.
That fact that both compression and current telecine procedures suck doesn't really change this to me since I consider both just bugs to be fixed.
Current displays used to suck also be that seems to be changing. - Tom Manfredi, Albert E wrote:

PAL is quite good, and 576i, but not dramatically better than NTSC. Whereas HDTV is dramatically better.
