What to use for Monitor's on this job

Recommended Posts

I am going to use 4 16 chanel DVR's on a job and need 4 CCTV Monitors to put up in the control room.

32 inch is what i am looking for.

I was looking at the Sharp 32" TV's, I bought one for 350.00, Looked real good.

Be nice to use bigger but i do not think there buget will let them.

What would you guys use.

DVI

We use a lot of the adapters that go from DVI to VGA.

Also has BNC .

Will be DVR's with 4 monitors, one VGA Coard on each.

 

How to choose Monitor for best resolution in 300-400 dollar price range.

IMO, any recent DVR should have a good HDMI output. That way the cameras can be displayed together with more quality.

 

Remember, HDMI can be converted to DVI, and visa-versa as well. No audio through DVI of course!!

Well it depends on the output of my video source. If it is HDMI, I will search for a TV-oriented monitor. They can be had cheaply now!

 

If it is DVI, I will go for a computer-monitor. Simply because TV's usually don't have DVI inputs. They usually DO have HDMI as well as VGA with a 3.5mm audio jack.

The thing I like to think about, is how many cameras you can fit on the screen without shrinking them down a lot.

 

So if you have a 1080 (progressive or interlaced) screen (1920x1080), you can basically fit 9 D1 cameras on there with very little shrinking to make them fit.

 

That is surely a lot better than feeding a 1080 screen 1024x768 VGA!

wouldn't dpi and physical screen size play into this calculation also though?
