Aliasing is something that can happen when you resize an image, and to fix it anti-aliasing is applied, which can have other modifying side effects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing

Flat screens have only one single resolution, as opposed to old CRTs, so every image is resized to this native resolution. This can be done by software, by the graphic card with whatever settings you have, or by the screen itself if it finally receives an image at a different resolution.
