The blur is a great decision, btw. Something I observed in the late 90's/early 2000's with my experiments of outputting video from a PC to a TV is - something that looks really rough even at the same resolution on a PC looks significantly better on a TV. The reason being twofold: 1. TV pixels on a CRT are usually diagonally arranged, instead of side-by-side, which helps to hide jaggies. 2. The phosphorous illumination on the glass itself isn't super sharp on a CRT like it is on more modern displays. The result being - something a little fuzzier makes for a better viewing experience. You can perceive individual pixels (and resulting artifacts) less.
