Hi! If you are sure that this is not an issue of your VGA or HDMI or DVI cable to the monitor, then I assume that what you are seeing is an artifact of your screen trying to zoom from the default resolution of DOS text mode to the native resolution of the screen. You could use the MODE tool of DOS to try other resolutions such as 80x30 VESA text mode. I good mode is probably some mode with a simple fractional ratio between resolution:
E.g. 9x16 font, 80x25 text is 720x400 pixel which for 1920x1080 screens is a zoom factor of 8/3 horizontal or 2.7 vertical, your screen might either zoom everything by a factor of 8/3 (2.6666666666) or zoom independently in X and Y direction, giving a slight distortion. As 8/3 and 2.7 are not integer values, you will get a regular pattern of zoom artifacts. Some monitors are better than others in making those artifacts bearable.
