No matter if I transfer to PC, or connect to TV, anything bigger than a 2×4 inch picture or so becomes very poor. I feel it must be a setting or so?
Your camera only records in standard definition at 320X240 or 160X120 pixels (15 frames per second). That is giving you less than ideal video, especially viewing it on an LCD computer monitor or a flat screen TV set at full screen16:9. You will see better results if you change the viewing screen(s) to 4:3 ratio.
Make sure the camera is set to 320X240. That is fine for web use if you may.

Maybe my expectations are too high, and I should be looking for a better camera

It looks like it was shot at 16:9 and then posted in 4:3. Over-all it wasn’t bad compared to all the awful videos posted on YouTube. The camera had a hard time dealing with the different light temperatures (bright areas on faces). You would have to do some adjustments either on camera or in post.
