Chosing a Monitor for NVR - Home Use

[SB_Jim 1]

Howdy,

 

Is there any compelling reason that I should consider in purchasing a monitor for home use? It appears I could buy a dummy HD monitor for about the same price as an equivalent sized (21.5") name brand TV that happens to have more HDMI & input options than the monitor.

 

Here's the TV options:

Thanks,

 

Jim

From my experience, computer monitors always work better with standalone units. This is mostly due to many folks thinking they have a great HD TV, but really is a 720P or even worse, it has a hard time handling certain resolutions even if it is rated for 1080P. Also, you can get a really great quality LED computer monitor for cheaper than many TVs.

 

If you can find a TV that works well with your unit, and it has more inputs, go for it...just be aware than many times you will have to lower the resolution and/or adjust the screen dimensions to fit the TV.

I've been using the Samsung HD tv for 2 mo at 1080p and am very pleased.
