Well, unless your resolution is really high, you need to have both.
A friend of mine had his c64 hooked up to an old tv that had quite a fuzzy
image, and while this made text almost unreadable, pictures looked
_amazing_!  In 320x200, you need to anti-alias things to a really blurry
level if you don't want to see the pixel boundaries. If the pixels
were slightly fuzzier in the first place, you could actually use less
blurry images for hiding the pixels.

I agree that black lines between rows are bad, though.  It is better if
they overlap slightly.

Christopher.
