Anything bought from itunes up until now looks decent (movies, tv shows). I've been really impressed though with 720p video files. Crisp and clean pictures. Of course, it also depends on the tv you have too.
No one can rent them yet so no one knows what they look like. You can play purchased movies on AppleTV now - most look good - near DVD quality. I have a ton of HD movies that look awesome on AppleTV - Im guessing this is what the HD rentals will look like - but we really wont know until the new software is released.
For AppleTV DVD quality and HD Rentals - they start when the AppleTV update is released (next week some time). You can currently rent iPod movies.
