I was thinking about purchasing this DVD player http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... to go with my 22" Vizio in my bedroom because it is cheap and has pretty good reviews, along with it upconverts DVDs to 1080p.
On the Vizio website however, http://www.vizio.com/productDetails... it says 1080i/720p signal processing for my particular TV model. Will this DVD player work with my Vizio even though it says 1080p and my Vizio says 1080i/720p?

Edit, I discovered upon reading the description it does state "720p/1080i/1080p" of that DVD player too.
That's what I get for not being very observant :\

You can't use any of that on a 22 inch. On a larger screen the upconverters do great. They also offer normally a way to select the output format 720-1080.
"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
