I have access to two widescreen laptops, but only one can run Stars! in full 1366x768. So, this is my primary resolution, and the game is very playable - the big advantage of widescreens is letting you have a nice square view of the galaxy, while having all control panes to the side.
The other one can run Stars! on Win3.11 under DOSBox setting, which means 1024x768. Apart from slightly narrowed galaxy view, it makes absolutely no difference.
I played Stars! once on 1280x1024 (using a 19" monitor) - it was great. But anything more than that would be overkill IMO. You rarely need to see half the galaxy at more than 150% magnification. Whenever I need to really close in on the action, I use 400% zoom anyway.
