Ubuntu Unity. 1920 by 1080 on a no-name LCD LED monitor. Launcher on left set to 32px. Browser in right half, terminal/Gedit in left half (use the shift-alt arrow key shortcuts to semi-tile).
Might consider a second 1920 by 1080 to get to 4 million pixels on the cheap
I also keep the taskbar vertical. The important thing if you use a mouse is to have it on a side that's not next to another monitor so the cursor stops at the edge.

16:9 is awesome if you use a wide, vertical taskbar.
