If he is going from Standard Def then he will notice a vast improvement and doubtfull notice the difference between a 720p/1080i set and a 1080p set.

However given the prices for 1080p sets now, I'd personally suggest going for that. On rare occasions, most normally subtitles/text I can see the interlace in 1080i, but it's so small on a sub 40" set that it's unnoticible, and if you go up to 40" 1080p really IMO isn't that much of a premium now anyway, so depends what size screen you go for really, as to which you should choose.
