On a regular (non-high definition) television set, the highest, standard
screen resolution you can support is 640x480 (give or take a few
pixels), which approximately equals the analog resoluton of an NTSC
television set.  PAL and SECAM are different, but similar.  I suspect
you're probably running a higher screen resolution and the video card is
scaling the output to NTSC causing the poor picture quality.

If you look at the on-screen display (OSD) created by television sets,
VCRs, DVD players, etc., you'll see they use a large, blocky fonts.
