gtxkid 0 Posted November 24, 2011 Put up a lot of better 620 line camera's and need to know what you guys are using to get a better picture. I use my MacBook Pro and it has very high quality screen / 1920x1200. Notice when some place's use a 1080p tv they work kinda good. Would like to find a 140.00 dollar monitor that works good 19 inch ????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dahomes555 0 Posted November 27, 2011 Pretty much any monitor you buy is going to have much higher resolution than the DVR you're using can put out. A 1920x1200 monitor is going to have 2x the resolution of the cameras you are connecting to it. Unfortunately, if youre connecting it to an analog DVR, the maximum video it can record anyway is 486 lines anyway. So basically, hook up pretty much any VGA monitor and you're going to be set. If you are viewing on your laptop screen, keep in mind that the video you are viewing is compressed in order to allow it to pass over a network connection without it killing your bandwidth. So the image will never look as sharp on your computer as it will on a monitor connected directly to the DVR unless you are somehow to disable all compression by the DVR, which most are not capable of.
