Pixellated iTunes Visualizer

I recently encountered an issue with the iTunes Visualizer. No matter what option I select, the visualizer displays a blurry and pixellated picture. iTunes runs perfectly clear but when I enter the visualizer the visualizer immediately becomes blurry. I have attached an example of what the visualizer looks like when it is run.

I am running the latest version of macOS Sierra and iTunes has been updated. I am running this on a brand new 2016 Macbook Pro. I have looked through all settings and options in iTunes and I have not found a solution. Any suggestions?

Thanks

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)

lol, bumped into this, after updating and solved it by going out of fullscreen to window mode, turning it off then turning it back on and fullscreen back.

The solution is pretty simple:

1. Go in fullscreen mode (CMD + T), then move your cursor to the top, ti'll the mac bar pops down and click the GREEN stretch icon (should be the only green action button).

2. After this, the itunes visualiser should be in window mode, hit CMD +T again (or from mac menu, view > visualiser > hide visualizer) to turn it off.

3. Then again hit CMD + T to turn it back on.

At this point it shouldn't be pixalated anymore.

4. from mac bar, view > enter fullscreen.

There you go, the nice and sharp iTunes Visualizer ^.^
