is high moniter resolution detrimental to text readability?

I thought that high resolution would provide finer text detail and make it more clear. But I just read a buying guide that said that high resolution made for better pictures, but would make text reading more difficult. I mostly do email and surf the net, but I thought a larger screen and high resolution would be easier on my eyes, now I'm having second thoughts.

Update:

When purchasing a laptop, one of the most important considerations is the “native resolution” of the screen as its size. A large size screen is generally preferred, but with that comes a sacrifice of portability; laptops with 17" screens tend to be very large and more difficult to carry. High resolutions offer a superior picture, but they can make standard fonts hard to read. Newer models provide the options of “Wide Format” Screens, which offer superior portability, great picture, and a good format for reading text.
