Megapixels are a product of (roughly) width times height of an image in
pixels, and as such not really properly specified - there are many ways
to multiply two of these values and arrive at 1.5 megapixels.

Going by the following chart (and assuming 1.4 MP or 1.6 MP are close
enough, and fairly common display size - or at least height -
standards), I'd go with an image of either 1440x960 pixels or 1536x1024
pixels.

I'd opt for the former at 1.4 MP, though.
