In general, you need to develop to fit the minimum screen size your client
uses, so there's not a lot of point in going bigger than 1024 x 768 for
Access development work.
Mine is 1450 wide on a 15" screen. Some clients say they find it hard to
read because the text is small.
Because LCDs are pixel based, whatever screen you buy, you will want to run
it at its native resolution.
