Why does my analog tv display an analog cable signal so much better than my HD LCD?
It looks really blurry and soft.
Is there a setting where I can get my analog signal to display the same or better as an analog TV on my LCD?

Yeah. From what I've seen, not gonna happen. Ever tried to play a PS1 or PS2 game on a HDTV? Horrible ----. I've been tempted to track down a decent size old analog TV just for playing old console games on.

I first experienced this phenomenon when I tried to connect my PS2 to my old laptop via USB Video capture card and display it at 1200x1600. While at the time, I suspected that the USB might have caused a huge bottleneck (firewire had just come out, and USB 2.0 didn't exist yet) I later figured that it had more to do with the way that a high res display shows an analog image.

My 55" rear-projector displays even crappy analog signals without any motion / color / rescaling artifacts, and at their native resolution and scanrate.
