Yes, very unrealistic. No standard DVD image (from any DVD player) can approach a good, clean high definition signal or disc.
However, make sure you experiment with all settings on the Oppo...including 480p component. That often works best with CRTs. Remember you have an analog set and using a digital connection may not work best (digital connection will force your display to do the DAC, but a good player probably does a better job), nor may upscaling since your display probably allows for native 480p which is likely best in your case.
In addition, be sure to use a calibration disc such as Avia or DVE.
