low-resolution
Lacking fine detail
Low-resolution describes images, displays, or recordings with relatively few pixels or data points, resulting in less detail and clarity.
A low-resolution photo looks grainy or blocky when enlarged.
The term extends to anything lacking precision or nuance: a low-resolution understanding of the problem, low-resolution thinking that misses important distinctions.
