I moved to an ultra-wide screen monitor a while ago. I'd love to be able
to run Windows 3.11, 95 or 98 in DOSBOX or a VM window at full
resolution, but the best I think I can do is a 1920x1080 window with a
hacked video driver.

There's a lot to be said for (re) experiencing the retro computing
environment without having to maintain the hardware. Then again, that
was part of the nostalgia.

Aside: I did see someone is making a 4:3 LCD monitor in beige.  That'd
be a great addition to a retro PC setup.
