Check out the Acer Aspire 8920/8930 18.5" WUXGA notebooks. Not as huge and heavy as the 20" HP behemoths but the larger screen makes it easy to work at 1920*1080 all day without strain. Note the 1080 resolution figure- that's to match 1080p and it's slightly lower than a normal WUXGA monitor. FWIW I've used Dell 17" WUXGA notebooks since they first were released and would recommend one of those as a close second.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
