able1 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Hello, Can someone explain the differences between a LCD CCTV Monitor and a LCD PC Monitor other than the obvious connector (BNC - Video). I have noticed that there is a big price difference and was wonder why?? I understand there is a signal difference between the two but the price difference seems to be huge. A little insight would be helpful. TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some days certain things just make you go hmmmmmmmmm??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

able1 0 Posted November 13, 2006 yep .. i may as well sell them a 32" LCD I am developing a standard answer when asked "over the phone" HOW MUCH??? My ansewer will be something like. "I guarantee that it will cost less than $1/2 million". Maybe I will modify that a bit with you in mind. Version #2 "I guarantee that it will be less dan $1/2 million, mon".

rory 0 Posted November 14, 2006 i set up a DVR tonight with a Hanz 19" LCD with DVI .. not bad .. but its a Geo .. pC based ... I found the LCD TV's to be better for composite than those CCTV LCDs though ... but i havent used all of them .. just saw a couple of them in service.

Rory, I was wondering about that. I have put CCTV on a standard TV that had a video input. Side by side you could see the difference but by itself it was not to bad. So is the resolution better on a TV-LCD that it would give a better composite picture?? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jisaac 0 Posted November 18, 2006 I dont know about lcd's but I know that with the plasma's the cctv ones have a significant difference in contrast ratio and look 100 times better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
