What you are seeing is that ALL points end up being plotted.  If you
assume you have a horizontal screen resolution of 1024 point, but are
plotting a 128 K-point FFT, you end up with 128 points being plotted in
every X position.  Each of those points is likely to be slightly
different in amplitude, so you see a thick line.  Some sort of "video
averaging", to borrow a term from spectrum analyzers, would be necessary
to clean that up.
