This is not a bad monitor. I've had mine for a while now. Today you can buy a 21 inch computer monitor at Wal-Mart for about $120 or so.

I really like this small 17 inch VGA LCD monitor. I purchased this monitor to use it as a spot monitor for a particular cameras. However, I also realized that it would be great to use as a monitor to set up my system. The colors are vibrant and the display is crisp and clear. I would suggest that anyone purchasing a package system of yours consider purchasing this monitor as well, especially since it can be used as a full system monitor but it is also small enough to move around from camera to camera and the DVR to set up the system.

I'm very pleased with the picture quality of this monitor.
