Question about laptops

So I recently ordered a new laptop (yesterday) and I just started worrying about something. The screen size is 15.6 inches and the screen resolution is 1366x768. My question is if this is bad or not? Like will the screen look bad and cruddy or clear? I looked it up and I'm still not exactly sure I'm not sure if this will help determine if the screen is clear or not but here is a link to the actual laptop to view the specs. http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/G1L49AV?HP-ENVY-15t-j100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-with-Windows-7-ENERGY-STAR-
My friend showed me this laptop and the specs are pretty good for the price, but I'm not sure about the resolution. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Oh and I'm using this laptop mostly for schoolwork, playing MapleStory, LoL and Starbound. And watching videos if this helps determine if the resolution is good or not. If you haven't noticed I don't know much about computers haha

Pixel density is key here. A 1366x768 15.6 in panel has about the same pixel density of a 1920x1080 21.5 in panel. Edges will look jagged if you are looking for them. The GT 740 M will play LoL on medium/high as long as your don't change the in-game resolution and depending how much you care about framerates.

HP ENVY series are not a huge concern. I've put the HP dv6 series on my watchlist due to the number of complaints passed around here.
