Re: Is 1600x1200 screen better than 1440x900?

The extra vertical resolution could come in handy, although because of the aspect ratio (its much more of a square than the one you've got now) some of it wouldn't be useful when watching widescreen movies.

Think about the aspect ratio as one of the most important factors when choosing a screen. I myself use a 16:10 13" screen at 1200x800 in my laptop and a 5:4 17" 1280x1024 as a second monitor on my desk.

TFT should be used in its native resolution. Doing so, you get the sharpest
screen.

I recommend to use 1440x900 resolution and adjust icon size, fonts etc to your
needs.
