Your base resolution is for some reason set to 1824x1026 while your monitor resolution is 1680x1050.
Then this monitor resolution uses a 16:10 format, so you will get small black borders on top and bottom if you watch it in the Twitch player on the Website for example.
I would recommend to set OBS to either your Monitor resolution and use a downscale, or set the base res to for example 1280x720 and fit your sources accordingly, fill the black areas with graphics, text, info etc.
I am not sure if the quickstart guide really explains why the you see the "bad quality" on movement. But remember for streaming you are compressing a video file at a fixed bitrate. Whenever this bitrate is not enough to save all fine details of the image, the quality will degrade. Now the way en- and decoding works, its easier to show a still image at full quality than keeping full quality on high movement.
You used a very low bitrate for a pretty high resolution in your tests. So I am not wondering that you saw a bad quality. If your upload allows it, increase your bitrate a bit while still also lowering the resolution slightly. This should help the overall quality even on action.

Some more guides on the different topics:
