buy the LG DVD player that has been advertising on the Time of india every now and then. Costs about Rs.4000/-

Philips DVP5965k is what you need.Will play all the formats you mentioned, USB supported and also upscales to 1080i.

most of the dvd players available in the market can read divx and other movie formats- all that you have to do is cheack the divx logo on the dvd. You can try Hundai, it is economical and does a good job of reading even the badly formatted disks that are available for hire.

That is a really good player but the upscaling to 1080i is just a gimmick. Merely increasing the resolution will not increase the quality.
I suggest you go for the model lower than this i.e DVP5150/94 It's the same minus the 1080i feature and costs a 1000 bucks less.
