Jay,
Yes this can work with any monitor, either because the monitor is DLNA-capable itself; or you use a small DLNA device such as a Roku, Chromecast, or other streaming stick/device that is DLNA-capable and plug it into the monitor via HMDI, composite, USB, or other. If a monitor has an Ethernet jack on it, its a good chance it is DLNA-capable.
Since it is so easy to set up and test, I recommend doing that to see how it works.
Here's some info for you:
Prerequisites:
• XProtect Version 2017 R3 (and later)- Express+, Professional+, Expert, or Corporate.
• Both the DLNA Server and the DNLA Receiver need to be on the SAME network.

Roku's and other devices:
The Roku is the only device I tested. I used the "Roku Media Player" channel and it detected the cameras I set up in Milestone right away. Each camera showed up as a folder, and inside the folder were the streams available for each camera. I chose a stream and hit play, and it just played. Frame rate was great, and the image was excellent.
I was able to play streams of any size, up to 1080p but not over. My Roku is a 1080p Roku so that makes sense. If you need to play larger streams, Roku does make a 4K device. For cameras larger than what the DLNA device can handle, I would think setting up a second stream in Milestone as 1080p (or whatever size your device can handle) would do the trick.
I personally think this is really cool and very helpful for solving simple Public View Monitor requirements It's also a cool way to view my home cameras on my Roku as well.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
