You probably played Oblivion on a CRT television. 480i is a lot more forgiving of blocky geometry than 1080p or 4k
Funny you mention that! I was actually playing Oblivion when I went from CRT to 720p and the difference felt like putting on glasses.
It's when I realized there was actually a border around the loading screen that had sketch-like art.
It's not just the resolution but also the CRT tech. It smooths out the image because the pixels themselves are different.
Yeah. A CRT at 1280x1024 looks just as good as my 4K TV in terms of clarity in TV/movies/video games. Really, text is the only thing that's worse. Hell, even 720p looks amazing in a side by side comparison with native 4K content on my relatively high end 4K TV (Hisense U8 series).
