I am creating a map for the nature preserve I work at. I have been downloading Kentucky elevation data from THIS website. You can see that there is a really high resolution, and I am able to see the geologic features in great detail on the website. Kentucky Elevation Data Website Screenshot

The nature preserve falls into the two tiles N065E238 and N066E238. When I upload the TIF file from the Kentucky Elevation Data tiles by dragging the file into QGIS, it looks blurry/has less resolution. Screenshot of QGIS with bad resolution of data

I've played around a bit with QGIS and have not found a solution.

If you want a persistent hillshade that you can save to file use some of the processing tools Ctrl+Alt+T to create it:
