You need to have the maximum resolution possible on a screen that is allowed within SC2's engine i.e. 1920x1080. This was addresses in development whereby it was stated that the higher resolution monitors would have more information on their screen. So, 1920x1080 can see the most within SC2's engine.
The next step is confining all of that information in a compact space to make it all easily accessible within direct eye-sight. Thus, the smaller the monitor (assuming 1920x1080 resolution) the better.
From these two points, you can conclude that the optimum monitor setup would be to have the smallest 1920x1080 screen possible which typically lies in the 20.5" to 21.5" range depending on current electronics trends.

I tried playing SC2 on my laptop that features a 15 inch screen AND 1920x1080 resolution, and dots on the minimap were so small you could barely notice them at all. I had to change the resolution down to 1280x720 and then everything looked normal again.
I know Greg/Idra plays on a laptop, maybe search for that and see what he uses?
