Best film Definition for iPad II

[THK]

Hey All.

In the Apple film store some films have both an HD option and a standard option for purchase. I'm assuming that with an iPad II (ie non retina) I will not see any difference between them? Can anyone confirm this?

You can see a difference since SD is 854x480 and the iPad 1 & 2 are 1024x576 (1.78 (16x9) video playback). Almost always downscaling is superior to upscaling.
