4x3 screen preferred? 128 key keyboard?

WDS games display very well on 16:9. I think you will find you will actually see more of the battlefield.

I have a two monitor setup and had thought i would rotate one monitor when reading documents, in practice i think i did that once and then decided it was too much hassle!

Although most of the games have been out for a very long time the recent updates to all the series means that they have been brought thoroughly up to date in all respects, and that includes adapting to the development that most people have much larger monitors than they did 20 years ago, and also that most of those are 16:9.

I see no advantage at all to sticking with 4:3

Cant help with the keyboard question.
