ryeporta 0 Posted October 17, 2009 Hi .. I am just a little curious abt the advantages of a CCTV monitor over a normal PC LCD Monitor I was told by my supplier that the main advantage is the life span and also that the screen will not be "burnt" with the DVR interface so easily .. Personally I also see that images are much crisper on these monitors . My questions are: 1) Is it really better to advise my clients to get a CCTV monitor for the lifespan? I mean .. in my country .. a CCTV cost about 3 times that of a PC LCD monitor .. and LCD monitors usually come with a 3 years warranty .. 2) Why are the images much crisper and sharper on the on the CCTV monitor? Is it a setting issue or a technology issue? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted October 17, 2009 The monitor choice for best picture quality depends on the source. Analog cameras usually look best on CRT analog monitors. IP cameras usually look best on digital or LCD monitors. The reason? The formats have to be "converted" for one to play on the other. The conversion process is not really accurate until you get up to high-end processors, which would cost more than the monitor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
