I would probably buy the 17inch Asus. The G73 1080p screen supposedly calibrates to 900:1 contrast, most laptops are like 200:1 contrast unless you spend a billion on an HP Dreamcolor. Newegg has the one with geforce 460m for $1149 and one with geforce 560m for $1279. I'd definitely spend the extra money for the 560m one:

Another option is Dell because their 1080p screens (not 900p ones) on models like the XPS 17 and Alienware 17 have similar contrast ratio (AU Optronics panel).
The 1080p panel is a $100 upgrade on the base XPS17 model bringing the price to $1000. The only problem is that geforce 550 and 555 are your only GPU options which are both decent but not really awesome for running 1080p. If you only want to spend $1000, it's probably one of your best options though.
