848X480 is a very low resolution, where you can't expect "good" unless
your definition of good is much worse than average.

Are you restarting X after each of these display switches? X can do some
adjusting when DDC is available on startup, but I doubt there's anything
it can do if you're just switching plugs from monitor to monitor or have
DDC disabled.
