Not sure what your monitor setup is, but a CRT with scanlines makes things look much sharper. Modern LCDs blur everything not at their native resolutions.
The problem is the opposite for me: The graphics looks far too sharp on a modern LCD screen, while a CRT with scanlines is blurry as hell and obscures the pixelation much better, on a modern LCD I can see the edges of each pixel clearly.
I can hardly imagine a scenario where you'd manage to get a modern LCD to look blurrier than a CRT (well I can, but they'd all involve doing it on purpose).
