The wonderful folks at Microsoft (actually, "the wonderful folks that sold it
to Microsoft") are using a trick to get color at higher resolution, that
relies on "smearing" of dots smaller than the phosphor dots on a monitor.
Unfortunately, it only works if you *don't* have an (otherwise superior) 
RGB monitor.  Microsoft's crime is not in selling software like this, but in
not telling you before you buy it.

The solution is to get an RF modulator and run the game on your TV set,
I guess.
