Yeah, that's like meaning the opposite of "sharp" when referring to the raster. Also can be more technically referred to in specific ways, depending on exactly how the raster looks "soft" such as "bloom" or "smearing." Not to be confused with screen "artifacts" like "ghosting" or some kind of pattern.

I would highly recommend just for starters to read the whole repairfaq of TV information. It's not going to cover everything, but it's a good start on really understanding different modes of failure and such
