Yes, although the picture won't be as crisp and clear as it would be if you used a blu-ray player and blu-ray disks.

Can you play an HD DVD on a 1080i upconverting DVD player?

* No you cannot, you need an HD-DVD player to play HD-DVD's * * HD-DVD is a brand of high definition DVD, just like "Sony" is a brand of electronics. Since an HD-DVD is its own brand and competes with Blu-Ray, the other brand of high definition DVD, it is proprietary and can only be played on HD-DVD brand DVD players. An upconverting DVD player is a DVD player that takes standard definition DVD's (in 480p) and uses digital technology to upconvert them to a 1080i or 1080p definition.

DVD player to use with HD monitor?

Almost all HD monitors have standard definition analog inputs as well as HD inputs. Therefore, any DVD player should be able to run with an HD monitor. Later DVD players are likely to have an HDMI port which is the standard HD input to all modern HD televisions. Just check the type of outputs on the DVD player and compare them against the inputs of the television. There is almost certain to be at least one connection that will be on both.

I'm not ENTIRELY sure, But, Since the HD-DVD player requires the small wavelength of a blue lazer to read the disk, I'm assuming that normall DVD players won't play HD-DVD's. I have never tried it though.
