- Monitors *** **:*, *** **** ******* *** ***: Though many would like to proclaim HD and 16:9 formats as the way to go, 4:3 models are still commonly used (and arguably provide more useful images), including 3 MP, 5 MP, and now 12 MP resolutions. It will be years before 4:3 is no longer available.
- UI ******** **** ** *****: Toolbars, Windows and Mac task bars, event lists, and other UI elements take up screen space, meaning even if the VMS client is run full screen on a 16:9 monitor with 16:9 cameras in a split view, these controls may take up space and skew the aspect ratio of viewing windows.
