That's partially true. The native resolution of the monitor is what gives the best visual quality, and the rez is based on both size, pixel density, and aspect ratio. In the old days video cards did not always display all the higher quality resolutions so it was more of a concern. Now? Not-so-much. On a laptop, the on-board video is enough to display the screen properly. (Hopefully.)
Laptop screens vary in rez and quality so a 14" laptop could have 1366 x 768 (not full HD) or 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) if the ratio is 16:9. Changing the native rez on any monitor is never a good idea as the image quality will suffer, but if the purpose is to fit something on the screen then change the resolution to something that has the same aspect ratio.
