medium sized HDTV is an oxymoron, I've got the 40" sony X-series bravia - at this size it's already very hard to see the difference between 720p and 1080p - this is a huge TV once you get it in your home (most people cannot believe it's only 40") if you're getting anything smaller then why bother with HDTV? just make sure the TV can handle a 1080p signal though, but the pixels will be lost to the eye.
Also you will not get a decent 1080p TV at that price point, possibly if you're willing to drop down to 720p - but what's the point in buying a TV that's substandard if you'll be stuck with it for at least 10 years? Just imagine how bad it will be then...

Sorry yeah I should qualify: by HDTV I mean something above SD. So probably 720p. I don't think they can afford a decent 1080p set.

I just got an oppo dvd player (which is good at upscaling dvds) and a Samsung computer monitor...
Look at Samsung as well, they also have some good HDTVs.

I should update my post... I went with a V Series Bravia. 32" 720p. Also got a Freeview Terrestrial HD receiver. Not much being broadcast in HD at the moment, but the HD test channel (100) is fantastic :)
