I thought I'd make this post because I could not find any information on the net on this. As such I delayed trying it for weeks due to the fact my lcd is not next to my crt and requires me to move one of my many xbox 360's to try it.
So it does work and not too badly. When the x360 is hooked to the lcd it of course detects many resolution modes supported thru hdmi. So if you have a HD crt with hdmi you are set, but if you like me have a SD 4:3 crt, this is how it goes.
When you hook it up with the s-video or component out you will only have two options it will be on widescreen if just unplugged from lcd. The other option is "normal" or 4:3 or something. So when you have it on widescreen it will stretch vertically your whole game and also the xbox menus. So when you change it to normal the game will display black bars on top and bottom.
So the thing is these black bars are not that huge, so not too bad. Its like when you run it in true 720p 1280 x 720, not 1366 x 768. About a inch and a half is cut off from each side, compared to how I first played it, in 1366 x 768.
So now you could play the game with the black bars (it's playable, not ideal but okay), or you could do like I am going to do adjust the V-size in the service menu until it almost fills screen. Third option is you can set it for widescreen and it will stretch it for you, although IMO it stretches it a bit too much, but you could also tweak this with the v-size.
So surprisingly I am somewhat pleased with the renedering of this game on crt. It is reported that all ME games work like this as they all use unreal engine 3. I am somewhat pleased as I was under the impression these games were totally unplayable in 4:3 on most crt.
These are very good games hope this helps somebody to play them on crt.
