>>games 15 years ago looked sharp at 1080p
Yes they did. Graphics evolved, and now there's way more subpixel detail than ever before. 1080p is not enough to catch all of it, which is why you either get ugly shimmering or blurriness. Pick your poison, or suck it up and stop using a resolution from 20 years ago. Imagine people in 2012 complaining that their 640x480 screens don't make games look good anymore.
