If you're using composite cables, that's probably why.

If I learned anything with my SNES, composite cables look a bit better on "newer" TVs. Coaxial looks perfect on old tube TVs, not so much on anything else.

What the others said, video quality on composite is pretty bad by today's standard. It looks worse on newer TVs because older video games were designed to be played on old CRT TVs or what some call "tube TVs". Also because new TVs are a digital video format while composite and old CRTs are analog, meaning your new TV has to convert that old analog signal to digital causing fuzzy picture and bad artifacts. You can see this effect on the SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, and whatever else hooked up through composite video cables. If you have your NES hooked through coaxial/rf... then you're better using composite.

Indeed, connecting an NES to an LCD TV with an RF cable will give you an extremely ugly fuzzy picture.
