I like using one of my screens for the 4x4 favorite contact widget. However, I have an issue where after choosing a picture for each contact, the widget seems to down-res the image and it looks just awful. Anyone notice this? Or know how to fix it? Or a better (hopefully) free app/widget to get instead?

I use to have an HTC Thunderbolt and found the same issue there, however, it was fixed by turning off Google Contact sync'ing. I have that turned off already and it has no affect.
