on the question of whether 16:9 (widescreen) or 4:3 (regular) screen formats, I'd say go for 16:9. The reason being that 4:3 aspect ratio is being phased out by pretty much everyone. Almost every digital channel is 16:9, with the only exception being the few older programs being aired before the standard was accepted (mash for example).

put simply: 16:9 is more future-proof than 4:3
