The problem of character coarseness when running real full-screen DOS

everybody, but on my Compaq, running an old DOS utility that
apparently switches the screen mode (even ancient DOS has several)
gives me much sharper characters than in the default condition
immediately after toggling to full screen.
Can you suggest some of these old utilities? Have you seen XyDos on a
desktop LCD 15-inch display? Has anyone tried the old Ultravision on a
desktop LCD? I find myself searching for an outdated display, a Multisync
E500, for a new computer because that CRT and UV give me DOS characters
that I can work with for a full day of writing.
