> The Amiga suffered similarly. Big and blocky and fuzzy.

The Amiga was designed to look good on the crappiest TV around. It was a home computer, not a professional workstation. But if you had a nice monitor, high-res B&W screen modes were easily available.

Indeed, is this a comparison of home computers running on a cheap TV, with business computers running on an expensive monitor?

I remember being amazed at how sharp the Amiga Workbench looked when I upgraded from an old TV to a "real" monitor. On the flip side, I was disappointed with how the ground in Cannon Fodder was now a collection of individual crisp pixels, instead of all blurring together as before. That gave me a very clear illustration of how it was "designed to look good on the crappiest TV".

Amiga OS 2.0 was a huge improvement in that regard! It had more of a 3D look.
