Can you provide a screenshot of what is "bad quality"?

There's a screen capture utility in Applications -> Accessories

Once you have the image file, upload it to picpaste.com and post the URL here.

I guess that if you open a photo you have in your computer, you see it with the same quality.
I think your video driver is running on 256 colors.

Can you open a Terminal (Applications - Accessories-> Terminal), type

lspci | grep VGA

and paste here the output?

Try a different browser, like Chromium, just in case. Install it from software centre, its name is chromium-browser, not the other one.
