When you config it to "current" resolution, DOSBox interpolate screen to your resolution, "fixing" different gaps and everything. Of course, 320x200 or even 640x480 will be less spectacular on your big monitor.

But you can try to check DOSBox settings, "output" in particular. Maybe it will give you some difference, but I cannot guarantee anything.

Also, as already was suggested here, try to tune monitor - CRT ones usually remembers individual settings for every mode (resolution+frequency).

Thanks, people.

Yeah, I should've mentioned my CRT (which is a late 1990's chunky
AOC model) always has its analog brightness at max, no matter what.
I just think we can be too demanding of old systems.

I hope the brightness change in Dosbox doesn't happen in
modern systems or I'll be thoroughly disappointed. I don't
see that change when I use other emulators (well, not
with Gens, and I'm talking of my old CRT again). It's very
head-scratching, that problem.

But really, the best solution (for an old CRT) is to config
Dosbox to current resolution: you get the clearest results,
and in fact I think I should have used this in the past,
because it all looks better than ever, now. It almost feels
like discovering SVGA over VGA. I'm surely exaggerating,
but it's like I wiped-clean an old dusty monitor after I
do this.


Cheers!
