If you stretch/blow up something, i.e. a user interface or an image, to a resolution it wasn't designed for, it -will- look worse.

They generally looked crap on the old screen as well, it's just what you were used to
One of the main differences is that your old monitor was probably about 14", the other is windows bitmap scaling which sucks.
TBH it does depend on if the resolution is a direct multiple of the old resolution, 1.5x will look a little bit blurry 2.0x will look the same, this will diminish as the new resolution gets higher so you will end up with a slightly better resolution screen looking worse but a much better resolution screen looking the same.
