This really depends on how long you want to keep the monitor on, ie will you use it just to set up the system and then to (rarely) review footage, this is what I do and I have an old clunker Cconia 32" LCD a relative was going to bin - works a treat. But if you are going to have the monitor/screen powered on continually you may want something that consumes allot less power. If your DVR supports network/IP out you may be better off just logging into the device from your PC to review footage, also many systems have aps which allow you to review (or permanently monitor) from an old phone or tablet.
Never used a dvr b4,is there much lag when viewing with apps?
Next council clean up pick up a 17".
