If you are connected to your LCD via an S-video or composite input, your
OSD will be rendered at about the same quality as your recordings.
If you are connected to your LCD via a High-resolution method, such as
component, DVI, VGA, HDMI, and you are running X in a high resolution,
such as 1280x720, or 1920x1080, then even though your source material is
SD, your OSD will be able to take advantage of the high resolution that
X is running at.
I suppose if you are running any resolution higher than SD in X, your
OSD should look good.
