New PC screen causing a new look

I have recently reinstalled DII on my new PC which has a 23" screen. Although it is great for a lot of things DII looks pretty bad on it. I have changed the resolution and that helped only slightly. Any suggestions as to how I can play inside of some sort of window or something else to help make the game a bit more watchable?

Please be pretty precise because I am an old dude who doesn't have the PC skills of some of you young guys.

Many thanks in advance.|||They recently changed it so it stretches for widescreen, so the only way to fix it is so that it doesnt scale. You will have 2 huge black bars on both sides of your screen though.|||You could try moving the screen a lot father back or changing the resolution like you've done so it doesn't look as horrible. The only other alternative is windowed mode.

Right-click on your diablo 2 shortcut, click properties, and add -w in the box that says target and click apply. So you will have something like

Target: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w

You can either play with the small box in the middle of the screen or maximize it. Maximized it looks almost as bad as just playing fullscreen.

I didn't like the windowed look at first (squinting to see wtf is going on hurts your eyes :P) but I've gotten use to it now and can't go back to fullscreen which just looks horrible to me now.|||Do you play singleplayer by any chance?

If so then you may wanna look at this.|||right click on your diablo shortcut.

in target field add: -w

and thats how i came round my problem on 24" screen.
