I am using a Lenovo LT1712p (5047HC2) 17" LCD monitor with my 486. I notice that the globe and the squares on the base screen in UFO Enemy Unknown are distorted. I would like to use one of my CRTs but due to space concerns that is difficult right now. The specs of this monitor say it has a 5:4 aspect ratio and a recommended resolution of 1280 x 1024. Does anyone have a recommendation for an LCD monitor that works well with DOS? Does it have to be a 4:3 aspect ratio? Hopefully there are some old models that work better with DOS which can still be found on eBay etc.
