I'm currently running my Xbox through a 1280x1024 4:3 monitor via VGA. I have the console set to output at 1280x1024 'Standard'. What this means for nearly every game is that the full widescreen 1280x720 picture is displayed letterboxed.

Unfortunately with Shadow Complex the game fills the full 1280x1024 4:3 frame with what *appears* to be an upscaled Standard Definition picture (or certainly at the very least a badly scaled HD picture). The image lacks a lot of clarity and has quite severe 'jaggies', GUI/HUD elements are also far from crisp.

Below is an image showing quite how bad the picture quality is.

Setting the Xbox to output at 1280x720 is not an option for myself as my monitor will not adjust to that aspect ratio.

Taken a couple more images to show what I mean, this time from the title screens.
