I don't have very large displays so I can't judge. I suppose in that respect the higher bitrate encode will look better when scaled up as well.

Possibly, but I believe crf14 will always be overkill, especially on HD material.

HD = less detail density and complexity per macro-block size, so the crf algorithm will penalize HD stuff less compared to SD stuff (as crf reduces quantizer based on complexity).  Also, any loss in quality will be less visible in HD material, also because of the fact that everything is more spread out.

(Also, just because there's a mathematical difference doesn't mean your eyes can actually tell that difference).
