What should be the best resolution for a 14' laptop used for reading and coding ? ( I am looking actually for Lenovo T420)

Thanks!

most 14" laptop screens are 1366 x 768 by default so it will look best (sharpest) at this res but if you are looking at text all day long, bigger the better to reduce eye strain especially if you are on smaller 14" laptop screen instead of a 22" LCD sitting on your desk. However, the text may end up looking pixelated at the lower resolutions. So it's personal preference really.

like brianbuys said thay are usualy 1366x768 resolution.
goto control panel, appearence and personalization, display. you should see where it gives you an option to increase font size and maintain youre current resolution. hope i helped
