Hi guys,

I had installed new CCTV with 4 cameras at home last year and attached 8 year old samsung 17" syncmaster FLAT monitor to it. Now this monitor is not working, it gives 1 second runtime and goes to black with power LED ON. If I switch it on/off , it again works for 1second only.

So suggest me a cheapest monitor of any size with these must have features:

1. Mountable
2. Durable for next 3-4 years. (18 hour ON a day)
3. Low power consumption

Should I buy a TV or Monitor for 18 hour per day live monitoring ?

looks like you found some http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/meerut/... coins or jewellery from the Indus Valley era http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-jewell...
or otherwise have something important or precious going on at home ! https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/269678/medium/347586939.gif?1480965141


though I do not think too highly of AOC as a brand, in a tight budget as yours and for something with at-least (diagonally) 18.5" viewable area (assuming here that you are looking for minimum 19inch screen), AOC could be in your top 3 choices.

I am not suggesting any particular model because i have little exposure to or in-depth understanding of AOC in past decade.

the VA1903A from ViewSonic might just fit your budget and as a brand they are fairly reliable and VFM.
[again, I have no direct idea on the model mentioned above.]

The ViewSonic VA2055SA which still sells in the West is a nicer model albeit not an immediate option as it is way out of your reference range.

All in all most of these electronics, whether a television or a monitor designed for use as a computer display, are of sturdy built and designed to survive continued daily long usage hours.
so, in my view, if longevity is concerned then it should not really matter whether one take a TV or a monitor.
I do think that the additional features and paraphernalia which come with a ‘television’ push the prices up and thus, in present scenario
buying a monitor would be better.


just so if you want; have a look at the following topics and/or tag/pm some of the people from there.
May be they might have some additional relevant pointers or better inputs.

@kool just realised that the D2015H must be available at a pittance to its old price.
and i am 98.98% sure that some National Distributors or Preferred Partner of Dell (or maybe even Dell themselves) must be offering similar price match guarantee feature as they do at home dell.com/pricematch


the reason this flashed in my mind despite being 15-18% more than the upper limit of your reference budget range
is because

the viewing angles on this are fair better on this one, coupled with the anti-glare feature (if it really works right) will make it a worthy choice when the feeds from various channels (CCC) need to be seen simultaneously.

DVI input might be an issue though. since this has a VGA port, one might need those connectors. they come really cheap though.


chatting with Dell India directly or taking quotes from one of their channel partners (some are sellers on-line(=) and using it to haggle with another would help too. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
