Select "deinterlace" from the "video menu".

If that doesn't help, then your eyes are cheating you. TV looks better because it's analog and does a sort of "blending", sometimes called "bleeding" that makes it look better, but actually decreases the resolution. It becomes less sharp.

This could also be a brightness or contrast issue, where the majority of video card monitor combinations leave the video overlay for media file a bit to dark when general Windows have a comfort level. This can be corrected using the overlay settings on your video card or using the extended GUI in VLC.
