G22 0 Posted May 18, 2009 At present I have a few 19" Viewsonic PC LCD's. I am wondering if it would be worth it to get a 640x480 Panasonic LCD instead for example. DVR is a Panasonic WJ-HD316 at present, and the VGA output seems clearer (on the OSD menus at least) than BNC or even S-Video. Would the Panasonic LCD @ 640x480 (I am assuming that is their resolution) be clearer than the Viewsonic b/c of the lower native res? tx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddiekr03 0 Posted May 18, 2009 I would say stick with the Viewsonic, Panasonic may get a little noisy at night times. If you could use the VGA for video I would definitely recommend it. The reason the VGA is going to be a better picture is because it splits the video more then a BNC or S-Video (Which is getting phased out), causing the picture to be sharper. The only thing better then VGA is HDMI or DVI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G22 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Even if the Viewsonic's native res is say 1280 x 1024? I always thought the picture might be not as clear when you downsize the res to the DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted May 18, 2009 That's quite true. Although we have not tested the Panasonic product, I can vouch for the fact that analog camera picture quality on an LCD digital monitor with 800x600 or higher resolution does not look as good as a CRT monitor can provide.
