Just as a side note:

good quality on a TFT/LCD monitor you can only expect if the resolution of
the data fits the hardware resolution of the screen (or an integral factor
of it)

E.g. having a 1280x1024 TFT you can only expect good results if you run
1280x960 or 640x480 or 320x240 or 160x120 or ...
