The real problem is that no matter what the resolution, the image is scaled to fill the monitor with your current settings. For example the stock resolution 1024x768 gets scaled to 1280x1024(that's your monitors native resolution, right?), which of course results in distortions and an unsharp image. When using the res fix to set the resolution to 1280x1024 you get rid of the unsharpness, but still have to deal with the distorted image.

There are two solutions(that I know of):

Run SH3 in windowed mode. The game will be run in a 1024x768 sized window, and thus won't be filling the full area of your monitor. The image will be sharp and not distorted.
OR
Enable "Preserve aspect ratio"(or something similar) from your GFX drivers' settings, and use the res fix to set the SH3 resolution to 1280x960. You'll get black stripes at the top and bottom, but the image will be sharp and not distorted.
