The Rank Arena TV I used was a little fuzzy.  We had the same TV in the loung room (I had one in my bedroom), the same model, but the image was clearer.  I liked moving my Commodore 64 to the lounge to see the graphics in sharper detail.

Using VICE without a CRT filter looks odd.  The C64 graphics (or graphics of any computer of that era) weren't supposed to be displayed with sharp pixels.

 AC> Same thing here...but around a quarter of my screen...with You Tube on a

Maybe get a projector and project the image into the wall!
