Is a 14.1"screen on a laptop small?

I am trying to figure out which one i want 14.1" or 15.4". can anybody tell me from their experience if a 14.1" seemed to small to them? i am not going to be taking it anywhere , around the house.
Answer
The problem is the "new" widescreen format. the old 14.1" format (4:3) was excellent and big , but the new format (16:9 widescreen) looks tiny (the height of the screen is little), so i would recommend to choose a 15.4" screen.
