The first widely distributed version of Angband, version 2.4.Frog-knows, and specifically the 1.1 (bugfix) version of the DOS port of that, which I was running here through DOSBox:

My DOSBox Options file (*.conf) settings: to get fullscreen (ALT+Enter) Frog-knows scaled up a bit on my 1080p screen and sharp rather than blurry:

fullresolution=desktop
scaler=normal2x forced

That leaves it black-bordered from its doubled 480p--to 960p--at my 1080p fullscreen, but sharp, and the checkerboard patterns of those nifty DOS wall blocks intact.

And you can enter your "mount c" command at the bottom of the Options file so you don't have to re-enter it each time you run DOSBox; like

mount c [full path to your dos programs, like c:\mydos or wherever you're putting your stuff]

~~

Once in the game, pressing "=" opens the Options screen, where I turned the "monochrome" option on.
