Hey guys, I am getting ready to open a business and wanted to get your opinion on what is my cheapest/reliable option for a security system monitor. I am actually going to need 2 monitors. For the first one, I would need a small basic screen that I can keep next to the DVR. For the second monitor, I was wanting something a little bigger (maybe 20" or so) that I could mount on the wall. That way, I can keep an eye on my shop without having to sit next to the system all day. Will both TV and computer monitors be compatible with most security systems? I am planning on buying a Samsung system from Sam's Club. If they are both compatible, which would you guys go with? Thanks in advance!

You should be fine using a computer monitor and a TV, however "compatibility" will have to do with the type of computer you're using, their in/outputs, and how many video cards it has and is capable of supporting. Those are your key concerns. The type of monitor/tv are not really a concern.
