If he has good light control (darkout blinds) an X1 or similar has a fab picture. Go to www.avsforum.com for the latest and greatest. By drop down screen, if you mean manual, he can get an entire setup (X1, screen, wiring) for around $1500US. If he can't get good light control than I agree with an RPTV, a Sony is a good bet, there are plenty of options there. His receiver would be fairly easy as I think Klipcsh are a pretty easy load, yes? Maybe a NAD, Rotel, Denon....
I'd recommend he wires for 7.1 while he's in there, even if he doesn't want it ... now. He or a future house buyer may want it later. Small $ now, bigger later.
Keep the paint at satin at the most, flat is best and darker is also better (even the ceiling if he's willing).

Grant, thanks very much for taking the time to respond. The AVS forum idea was great, I have registered there and am continuing my "education".

P.S. my wife & kids are holding their collective breaths, hoping (I'm sure) Dad doesn't get into the HT upgrade like he did/does with his audio!
HT is very much fun. My room is essentially set up for music, but movies bring people in and is great entertainment. The big screen doesn't interupt the music when it's rolled up so is much better than a TV. As for upgradeitis, I do have a bit of a bug, but it still doesn't anywhere near touch the audio bug for me. My X1 is happy hanging from the ceiling with no mods. I am however eventually going to build a hush box. And, well maybe upgrade to a 96" screen instead of the 84". :)
