I have got a 14" with something like 1200x800 resolution max, and there is a new laptop with a 15.4 " screen with something like 2000x1500 . Will the higher resolution make everything better on the eyes or since it is a little larger is the resolution not going to be that much better?

I agree its the refresh rate that's the problem. But I've also noticed that I can use a 19" CRT without needing my glasses, and I get eyestrain if I use a flat screen. I also can't sit under fluorescent lights. Apparently some people can see the flicker, it makes you squint and you get eye strain.

It's not necessarily the screen resolution that causes eye strain. It's more to do with the screen refresh rate, which is measured in hertz. (That's the number of times per minute that the screen is renewed.)
This would only normally be visible on CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors, and not LCD (Liquid Crystal Diode) screens.
You should be aiming for something akin to 75Hz to prevent eye strain.

Move thru different resolutions and see which one is comfortable for you.
Monitor will continue to harm eye with radition irrespective of the screen resolution.
But working with wrong resolution will only add extra pressure to your eyes.
Largely people use 800x600 resolution. Many use 1024 also. Anything beyond that is not recommended for 14-15 inches screens.

the only thing that will make it better for your eyes is a well lit environment and the REFRESH rate. the refresh rate you might ask...is the amount of times the screen has to refresh itself to display a picture...much like a movie. movies have a frame rate of 29.97 Frames per second...your computer usually has a standard of anywhere from 60-75hertz. meaning the screen flashes 60-75 times a SECOND (not minute). the higher the number the less strainful it will be...
refresh rate is found on all monitors.. crt and lcd....the screen has to be refreshed in order to display any kind of graphics...including anything from mouse cursors to video.
if you have ever seen a low budget movie, or even taken a camcorder and recorded your computer monitor or tv show...you see all of these lines moving top to bottom thats because the frame capture rate of your camera is colliding with the refresh/frame rate of your monitor/tv

examine up about Pulse Width Modulation for liquid crystal exhibit monitors. (truly exhibit screen flicker to administration brightness) attempt putting the exhibit screen brightness to maximum, and then utilizing the comparison to make it extra ideal or third party software if want be that's depending on your geographical area which contain f.lux
