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).
