Laptop Screen Question

What laptops have the best screens for watching streamed video and movies?

I primarily use my vostro 1700 to watch media and was wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap 17ish inch laptop with a good screen.

I don't game on it so it doesn't have to be fast.
 
If it's just you watching, they are probably all the same if you want a cheap (read non-upgraded) screen. If there are more people watching, you'll probably want a 1080p, which are usually better panels with better viewing angles. Sony also has nice screens on almost all their laptops but they are not cheap.

If you don't mind used, Dell outlet with a coupon has the Inspiron 17r for cheaper than any other 17" ($400 is cheapest I've seen).

I also came across someone selling a 1st gen i3 17r supposedly sporting a 1080p screen: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1649981
I didn't know either generation of 17r came with a 1080p screen and can't find any info online to back it up.
