If you can’t see a difference, then there’s your answer — there’s no huge difference.
The only practical differences between HDMI and Component are that HDMI is digital, not analog; it’s a single connection, not 5 connections; and HDMI always supports up to 1080p if your TV does, while component maxes out at 720p/1080i on most TVs (only some will do 1080p over component).
Some people claim they can see a difference, but that’s usually due to settings or the TV handling one better than the other.
