If you're referring to the blurring, then it's a resolution issue. Did
you restart NVIZ after increasing the resolution? Also, check that the
"Polygon resolution" (in the "Surfaces" panel) is set to "1".

You can disable the Gouraud shading by choosing "Flat" (in the
surfaces panel), but you will get parallelograms rather than tiles
(NVIZ splits each quad into two triangles and, when using flat
shading, picks a different vertex for each triangle; that should
probably be reported as a bug).
