Take Google as a case study (especially since I'm guessing they do a ton of usability testing). The regular search uses the scale up/ scale down approach, in their case between 800 and 1180px.
However within the main column they restrict the length of the search results text. The result of a wider screen is actually more white space between the search results and the ads, which makes the page easier to read.
Then with images and maps they switch over to completely liquid width.
