Well, here is what I am doing with my old games to get them large (easy on the eyes) with a good refresh.

I have a 21.3" LCD at 1600x1200 and 20" CRT (can run any resolution) hooked up to a NVidia 8800GTX.

I use a multi-monitor utility, ULTRAMON, to preconfigure my DOS games. So, I launch AOD on the CRT in a Window. It is set to run in a 700x400 resolution Window. Then, the monitor is set to display at 720x480/85Hz. This makes AOD practically fill the screen of the CRT. And this is what I do with most my DOS games; I use the CRT to stretch the size of the small game Window by running in a low resolution mode. Works like a charm!

See attached config for AOD [DOS]:
