Steps to reproduce:

Open https://www.youtube.com/testtube and click on "Get the player" button to activate the new YouTube player with SVG controls

Play any video in normal small or tiny size, the controls are detailed as they should. Change to a bigger size or into theater mode and the controls become blurry.

Repeat the same steps in Chrome and the controls never get blurry.

This issue also exists in latest Nightly 40.0a1 (2015-05-09)


Actual results:

The controls became blurry when the player increased its size. See attached image showing a zoomed comparison of the issue.


Expected results:

The controls should not get blurry.

Further testing seems to confirm that this issue occurs when the player has an odd width value, so this might be a case of bad rendering caused by the half-pixel dilemma

Confirmed that this issue is being caused by the half-pixel dilemma, will repost in a dedicated issue with clear title and test example.
