It is definitely nice to be able to see Instagram photos at their full resolution on the bigger screen. Sometimes I forget that my phone camera is actually taking pictures with a fairly decent resolution. I do notice that some pictures which appeared nice and clear on my phone are actually more grainy than I thought when I see them on my computer screen at actual size.

Seeing images taken and uploaded from a nicer phone (e.g. iPhone 4s/5 or nice Android) and then viewing them on a non-retina device is really unfortunate. Instagram compresses images to serve up non-retina/high-density phones faster and the differences between the image quality is pretty drastic. I think the web images are probably the same as the retina/highdpi phones.
