I know this is an opinionated question so I would like to hear your opinions and what you think would be the best looking.

LCD displays will have a native resolution. Whatever that native resolution is for your LCD display will be the best resolution to operate. In the case of a laptop it will be the default resolution set by the manufacturer. Setting other resolutions will result in a noticeably blurry picture.

There is no "best", and no one can really answer that particular question for another user. Much of it is personal preference, or need by particular end-users (example: the digital design/art crowd might opt for the highest resolution available). Would suggest you find the resolution at which you work most comfortable in a desktop/application environment. Higher resolution displays have their benefits, of course - but only if the user is comfortable operating at the high of a pixel count.

Viewing the various types of displays available at a local retailer might prove a useful experience. A majority of the displays will be of the XGA/WXGA variety, but you should be able to find a handful at the higher resolutions. This link may prove helpful in educating oneself in the various resolutions and their respective naming convention.

Go HERE and look for the heading on "15.4" Ultrasharp Widescreens". Then read on.
