nowva 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Is a CCTV monitor with BNC any better picture quality than a HD tv with composite when using as a spot 2nd display monitor, because they are far more expensive ? Thanks Nowva Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted January 25, 2012 It really depends on the TV. For starters, analog cameras still use a 4:3 (non-widescreen) aspect ratio, and CCTV monitors still tends to reflect this; a widescreen TV, on the other hand, will usually stretch the image. Also, since analog video is around 720x480 resolution and high-def TVs tend to be 1280x720 or 1920x1080, the TV needs to "upscale" the image to fill the screen, which can cause various artifacts and "jaggies" if the resizing is done poorly. And finally, your average TV isn't meant to be left on 24/7, while CCTV monitors are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
