Get a pen and write this down. Go to a local electronics store, they will help you out.
Tell them you want a T.V. including:
- HDMI input
- HD LCD
- 1080i or 1080p (1080p is a lot more expensive)
- Component Cable input
- HDMI cable compatible with PS3

All HD LCDs do support 1080i, but most all at or under 32inches are 1366*768 native resolution, so none actually can show 1080i, they only convert it to that 1366*768 resolution, which is closeer to 720p (1280*720) The only tvs that can actually do 1080i are the old CRT tube based ones. And 1080p LCDs usually start around 42inches often.
For his HDMI cable, he should go to monoprice.com and pay about $6 there, a store will try to trick him into a $150 HDMI cable that makes no difference in picture despite what they might say.
If he goes LCD, he needs to make sure it's not too cheap otherwise he'll have poor blacks and other issues. I wonder what his budget is.
