I assume it would be pretty marginal, because regardless of pixel-count, a screen of equal size/luminosity would have identical power draw.

The only thing I could think of is a slight draw of increased power from the CPU/GPU/APU to push more pixels, but this would be negligible to the tune of increments of a percent for all usage outside of gaming.
