Well, that certainly narrows it down. Have him look at Vizio. Good bang for the buck. He could probably get a 37" LCD for under $1000.

No point in spending the extra money for a 1080p set if you are going that small unless you plan to sit right on top of it. What's his viewing distance going to be?

Tell him to cough up another $700 and he can get a 50" Sony SXRD at Sam's Club for $1699. Don't know if he'll get a quality 1080p set for under $1000. The SXRD at Sam's is the best deal I've seen lately.

Again, if he wants a 32 inch set and the cost difference between a 720p and 1080p set is large, go with the 720p set unless he's going to be sitting within a couple feet of it.
Once your back far enough it's hard to make out the difference between the two resolutions. 1080p benefits larger sets much more then smaller ones.
