Thumbnail and Large sizes

I have a theme with a static front page and a separate page for all of my blog posts. The front page displays the latest three posts from my blog page. My posts have a feature image, with the following code in my single.php,

<?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?>

THen on my page-front.php, I have the following code to display the feature images from the posts, on the front page,

<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>

For some reason, the thumbnails on the front page are blurry. Any help on why this might be, would be great appreciated.

Greetings Gabriel Ward !

What exactly are the specifics behind the images (dimensions, format, etc) and how are they being implemented on the front in, are they set to be 100% width? WordPress sets thumbnails to a default of 100px square so if they are set to fill their container, they might be getting stretched.
