HDTV questions

[IronOxide]

I have a friend that wants to get an HDTV. He isn't sure what he wants to get, but he wants to spend about $1000 this black friday. What would you all reccommend? He's not sure what is best: lcd or dlp, 1080p, 1080i, 720p. Also, he would like some brand suggestions. Anyone have any input? Thanks!

Westinghouse has a few nice priced LCDs. 42'' 1080p Westinghouse for 999 @ Best Buy.

What are his viewing habits (DVD, SD, HD)? Does he want to connect other devices like his PC or console? What inputs does he have/need? What's his viewing environment (light, dark) and distance? That's the place to start, but even knowing the factors there's the personal taste aspect of which he'd prefer.
