Dahua LM22-A201Y is available at Mascom International for KSh 9,000, a 21.45-inch Full HD IPS monitor with a 100Hz refresh rate over HDMI and 60Hz over VGA. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The Dahua LM22-A201Y shows 1920 × 1080 pixels at 250 nits behind a matte, anti-glare surface, with 178-degree viewing angles in every direction. It ships with a stand, an HDMI cable and a 12V power adapter, and it fits a standard 75 mm VESA wall or arm mount. See it on display at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for cyber cafe owners, receptionists, security teams and students on a tight budget across Kenya, the Dahua LM22-A201Y covers daily work without a large outlay. A cyber operator in Kawangware or Kisumu can fit out several workstations for KRA returns, eCitizen applications and printing jobs. A hotel or clinic reception desk gets a clean screen for bookings and patient records. Security teams can wire it to a DVR or NVR and watch camera feeds through the night. A Moi University student finally gets a full-size display for assignments, research and evening films.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push unbranded screens with no clear specifications, Mascom International stocks the Dahua LM22-A201Y from a maker whose name is already trusted in CCTV control rooms. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the dual HDMI and VGA inputs let them reuse older office desktops and DVR boxes instead of replacing them. The low power draw also helps cyber cafes keep monthly KPLC bills down. Walk in to compare the picture against other screens on our shelf, or order the Dahua LM22-A201Y with pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dahua LM22-A201Y
How much is the Dahua LM22-A201Y 22-inch monitor in Kenya?
The Dahua LM22-A201Y costs KSh 9,000 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. For that price you get the monitor, its stand, an HDMI cable, a 12V power adapter and a 12-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, so you check the screen before you hand over cash or send M-Pesa. Cyber cafes and offices buying several units can ask our team on WhatsApp about collecting a batch from the Kimathi Street store.
Does the Dahua LM22-A201Y really run at 120Hz?
No, the Dahua LM22-A201Y runs at up to 100Hz through HDMI and 60Hz through VGA, according to Dahua's port specifications. Some online listings quote 120Hz, but the HDMI 1.4 input on this model tops out at 100Hz at 1920 × 1080. In practice, 100Hz still makes scrolling, cursor movement and casual games look clearly smoother than a standard 60Hz office screen. To get 100Hz, connect by HDMI and select 100Hz in your Windows display settings.
Can I use the Dahua LM22-A201Y as a CCTV monitor with a DVR or NVR?
Yes, the Dahua LM22-A201Y connects to most DVR and NVR recorders through HDMI or VGA and displays camera feeds in Full HD. Dahua makes both the recorders and this monitor, so pairing them in a shop, school or apartment block is simple. The wide viewing angles let a guard read the grid of camera views from a chair beside the desk. Fit it to a wall bracket with the 75 mm VESA holes to keep the control desk clear.
How does the Dahua LM22-A201Y handle power cuts in a cyber cafe?
The Dahua LM22-A201Y uses about 22W in typical operation and under 0.5W in sleep, which is light for a 21.45-inch screen. That low draw means a small UPS can keep the monitor and a desktop running long enough to save work when KPLC power drops. Cyber cafes running many seats save on electricity compared with older, power-hungry screens. Mascom International stocks UPS units too, and our staff can suggest a size for your number of workstations.
Should I buy the Dahua LM22-A201Y or the Dahua PM16-F201PD portable monitor?
Choose the Dahua LM22-A201Y for a fixed desk and the Dahua PM16-F201PD if the screen must travel with a laptop. The Dahua LM22-A201Y gives a larger 21.45-inch display, VGA support and 100Hz over HDMI for KSh 9,000. The Dahua PM16-F201PD costs KSh 13,500, has a 15.6-inch 60Hz screen, weighs 0.73 kg and runs from one USB-C cable. Desk users save KSh 4,500 here; frequent travellers will find the portable model worth the extra.
Will the Dahua LM22-A201Y work with an old desktop that only has VGA?
Yes, the Dahua LM22-A201Y has a VGA input that shows 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz, so older office towers and recycled cyber cafe PCs connect directly. You will need a VGA cable, since the box includes an HDMI cable only. Newer PCs, laptops and TV boxes should use the HDMI port for the 100Hz picture. Keep the monitor away from direct sunlight and dust from busy roadside premises, and wipe vents with a dry cloth every few weeks.
Is the Dahua LM22-A201Y good for university students?
The Dahua LM22-A201Y is a practical first monitor for students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University or Strathmore because it costs KSh 9,000. Connect it to a laptop by HDMI and you can keep lecture notes on one screen and an assignment on the other. The 21.45-inch Full HD panel also works for films, YouTube lessons and light gaming in a hostel room. Pair it with a laptop or a headset for sound during online classes and video calls.
Who should buy the Dahua LM22-A201Y, and who should skip it?
Buy the Dahua LM22-A201Y if you need a reliable desk screen for office work, CCTV viewing, reception or study at a low price. Skip it if you edit photos or video for paying clients, since a standard 250-nit office panel is not built for colour-critical work. Competitive gamers wanting 144Hz or faster need a dedicated gaming monitor. If you must carry your screen between offices, the Dahua PM16-F201PD portable monitor at KSh 13,500 is the better fit.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel
- 21.45-inch IPS panel — sold as a 22-inch class screen, roomy enough for two documents side by side.
- 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution — sharp text for KRA forms, eCitizen pages, spreadsheets and CCTV camera grids.
- 178-degree viewing angles, horizontal and vertical — the picture stays clear for people seated to the side.
- Matte anti-glare surface — cuts reflections from windows and overhead tubes in shops, offices and reception areas.
- 16:9 widescreen shape — matches Full HD video, so films and camera feeds fill the screen without black bars.
Picture and Motion

- 60Hz over VGA — the standard rate for older desktops and DVRs, fine for documents, browsing and camera monitoring.
- 10 ms response time — how fast pixels change; suited to office work, video and casual games, not esports.
- 250 nits brightness — comfortable for indoor offices, cyber cafes and control rooms with normal lighting.
- 1000:1 contrast and 16.7 million colours — clear blacks for text and natural colour for everyday video.
Connectivity
- One HDMI 1.4 port carrying 1920 × 1080 at 100Hz — the input to use for laptops, newer PCs and TV boxes.

- Kensington lock slot — tie the monitor to a desk with a security cable in shared spaces such as cyber cafes.
Power and Energy Use
- External 12V 2A power adapter included — a small brick that keeps heat outside the monitor body.
- About 22W in typical use — modest consumption that helps cyber cafes running many seats keep power bills lower.
- Under 0.5W in sleep mode — near-zero draw when the computer idles or the screen times out after hours.
- Light load suits a small UPS, which can bridge short KPLC outages long enough to save files.
- Low running heat helps in warm rooms such as Mombasa shops and crowded cyber cafes during afternoon hours.
Build and Mounting
- 492.7 × 362.1 × 189.3 mm with stand — fits a standard office desk or reception counter with space to spare.
- 1.9 kg without the stand and 2.15 kg with it — light enough for one person to move between desks.
- 75 mm VESA holes — mount it on a wall bracket for CCTV rooms or on an arm to free desk space.
- 41.2 mm deep without the stand — sits close to the wall when mounted in a guard room or corridor.
- Black finish with physical menu buttons for brightness, input and display settings.
Workplace Fit
- Cyber cafes — Full HD and VGA support let you upgrade screens on existing PCs without replacing every tower.
- Reception desks — the matte panel and wide viewing angles keep bookings readable for staff and visitors alike.
- CCTV and DVR monitoring — HDMI and VGA inputs match the outputs found on most recorders sold in Kenya.
- Students — a large second screen for a laptop at KSh 9,000, useful for research, coding and assignments.
- Small offices — two inputs allow one screen to serve both a desktop PC and a laptop on a shared desk.
