CCTV monitor Vs standard TV with composite

Recommended Posts

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

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.

Yeah this is the main thing I see between a standard TV and a "good" cctv monitor. The CCTV monitors are built like haus'es
