The Dahua LM24-A200Y is available at Mascom International for KSh 11,500, brand new and sealed, with a 23.8-inch Full HD VA panel running at up to 100Hz. The Dahua LM24-A200Y shows 1920 by 1080 pixels with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, so black text sits sharply on white cells and forms. It connects through one HDMI 1.4 port at 100Hz and one VGA port at 60Hz, which covers most office desktops and laptops. You can see it working at our Old Mutual Building showroom on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you pay. It ships with an HDMI cable, a power adapter and the base.
Built for accountants, admin staff and back-office teams across Kenya, the Dahua LM24-A200Y gives a cramped laptop screen room to breathe. Many Nairobi offices run on 14-inch laptops, where an iTax return, a bank statement and an Excel ledger fight for the same space. Plugged into HDMI, the Dahua LM24-A200Y lets you keep the KRA portal open on one side and your working file on the other. SACCO loan officers and bank operations staff can use the same setup to check member records against scanned forms without flicking between windows all day. The 178-degree viewing angle lets a colleague read the figures from the next chair.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded office screens with no paperwork, Mascom International supplies the Dahua LM24-A200Y with a 12-month warranty and a receipt your finance team can file. Customers across Nairobi tell us they often buy several units at once to fit out a whole accounts section. The VGA port matters here, because many offices still run older desktops that have no HDMI output. Visit the store, test the Dahua LM24-A200Y against your own laptop, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it reaches your office anywhere in Kenya. Delivery within Nairobi happens the same day.
Common Questions About the Dahua LM24-A200Y
How much is the Dahua LM24-A200Y monitor in Kenya?
The Dahua LM24-A200Y costs KSh 11,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the HDMI cable, the power adapter, the stand base and a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so an office manager in Nakuru or Kisumu can check the unit before handing over cash or M-Pesa. Teams fitting out several desks can ask on WhatsApp about collecting multiple units in one trip. For a bigger screen, the Dahua LM27-A221Y in this range sells at KSh 15,000, which is KSh 3,500 more.
Is the Dahua LM24-A200Y good for accountants and KRA iTax work?
Yes, the Dahua LM24-A200Y suits accounting and tax work because its 23.8-inch Full HD screen fits two documents side by side. At 1920 by 1080 pixels, you can split the screen between the iTax portal and an Excel workbook without shrinking the text too far. The 3000:1 contrast keeps faint gridlines and small figures distinct when you reconcile long columns of entries. If your desk is crowded, the 75 by 75mm VESA mount on the back accepts a standard monitor arm, sold separately, which lifts the screen and frees space for files.
How does the Dahua LM24-A200Y compare with the Dahua LM27-A221Y for office work?
The Dahua LM24-A200Y is the smaller, cheaper option, while the Dahua LM27-A221Y gives you a 27-inch screen for KSh 3,500 more. Both show Full HD, so the 27-inch model spreads the same pixels over a larger area; text looks bigger but slightly softer up close. The LM24-A200Y uses a VA panel with 3000:1 contrast at 100Hz, and the LM27-A221Y uses an IPS panel rated 1200:1 at 120Hz. Pick the 23.8-inch for tight desks and sharp text, and the 27-inch for people who sit further back.
Will the Dahua LM24-A200Y cope with KPLC power cuts in a Kenyan office?
The Dahua LM24-A200Y handles power cuts well because it draws only about 22W in typical use from an external 12V adapter. That low draw means a basic office UPS can keep it and a desktop running long enough to save your work when KPLC supply drops. Standby consumption stays under 0.5W, so leaving it plugged in overnight barely registers on the electricity bill. We still advise plugging the adapter into a surge-protected extension or a UPS, since voltage spikes can follow when power returns.
Can I connect the Dahua LM24-A200Y to an older office desktop with only VGA?
Yes, the Dahua LM24-A200Y has a VGA input that carries full 1920 by 1080 resolution at 60Hz, so older desktops work without an adapter. Many bank branches, SACCO offices and government registries still run towers with a VGA port only, and this monitor saves them buying a converter. The box includes an HDMI cable but no VGA cable, so add one to your order if your computer needs it. You can keep both cables plugged in and switch between a desktop and a laptop through the on-screen menu.
Does 100Hz make a difference on an office monitor like the Dahua LM24-A200Y?
The 100Hz refresh on the Dahua LM24-A200Y makes scrolling through long spreadsheets, PDFs and web pages look smoother and easier to follow. A 60Hz screen redraws 60 times a second; at 100Hz the picture updates 100 times, so rows blur less as they move. You need the HDMI port for 100Hz, and you may have to select it under Windows display settings, because many computers default to 60Hz. Over VGA the monitor runs at 60Hz, which still works fine for typing, forms and email.
Who should buy the Dahua LM24-A200Y, and who should skip it?
The Dahua LM24-A200Y is for accountants, admin assistants, receptionists, cyber café operators and back-office staff who need a clear, affordable second screen. It fits eCitizen applications, payroll, data entry and email, and it works with both current laptops and old VGA desktops. Skip it if you edit photos or design print materials, because a colour-calibrated IPS display serves that work better. Competitive gamers should also look elsewhere: the Dahua LM25-B221B runs at 144Hz with a 1ms MPRT response and is in stock at KSh 13,500.
Does the Dahua LM24-A200Y have speakers for Zoom and Teams meetings?
No, the Dahua LM24-A200Y has no built-in speakers or audio output, so meeting sound comes from your laptop, a headset or a separate speaker. For Zoom and Teams calls, most office users plug a USB or Bluetooth headset into the laptop, which also keeps conversations private in an open-plan room. The screen itself works well during video calls, since a 23.8-inch Full HD view shows a shared spreadsheet large enough to read while you talk. Your laptop's webcam stays the camera, so place the monitor beside it.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel
- 23.8-inch VA panel — VA (vertical alignment) technology blocks backlight well, giving deeper blacks than most budget office screens.
- 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution — enough sharpness to show two A4 documents side by side at a readable size.
- 3000:1 static contrast ratio — black text stands out clearly against white spreadsheets, forms and scanned receipts.
- 250 nits peak brightness — comfortable under ordinary office lighting; place it away from direct window glare.
- 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles — a colleague beside you sees the same figures without colours washing out.
Motion and Picture
- 100Hz refresh rate over HDMI — the screen redraws 100 times a second, so scrolling looks smoother than on 60Hz.
- 60Hz over VGA — the older analogue port still delivers full 1080p, just without the extra smoothness.
- 10ms response time — how quickly pixels change colour; fine for office work and video, too slow for fast gaming.
- 16.7 million colours from an 8-bit panel — accurate enough for charts, presentations and everyday photos.
- 16:9 widescreen shape — matches laptops, YouTube and online meetings, so pictures fill the screen with no black bars.
Connectivity
- 1 x HDMI 1.4 input — plugs straight into most laptops and office desktops from the last decade, and carries 100Hz.
- 1 x VGA input — keeps older desktops and thin clients useful without buying a converter.
- Two inputs connected at once — switch between a laptop and a desktop from the on-screen menu without swapping cables.
- No built-in speakers or audio output — use laptop speakers, a headset or a desk speaker for meeting sound.
- HDMI cable included — connect a laptop on the day the monitor arrives, with no extra purchase.
Power and Energy
- External 12V DC power adapter — the power brick sits under the desk and keeps the monitor body slim and cool.
- About 22W in typical use — over an 8-hour workday that comes to roughly 0.18 kWh of electricity.
- Under 0.5W on standby — leaving it plugged in overnight adds almost nothing to the office power bill.
- Low draw suits a UPS — a small backup unit can carry the monitor and a desktop through short power cuts.
- Power adapter included in the box — no need to hunt for a matching 12V supply before you start.
Office Setup and Compatibility
- Plug-and-play on Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS — the computer detects the screen without any driver download.
- Extend or duplicate mode — extend to spread work across two screens, or duplicate to mirror a laptop for presentations.
- Pairs with a laptop as a dual-screen desk — the 23.8-inch size sits comfortably next to a 14-inch or 15.6-inch laptop.
- Two units side by side — the width leaves room for a dual-monitor setup on a standard 160cm office desk.
- Mixed office fleets — HDMI covers current laptops while VGA serves older towers, so one model fits every desk.
Build and Mounting
- 75 x 75mm VESA mount — fits standard monitor arms and wall brackets, sold separately, to free up desk space.
- 2.05kg net weight — light enough for one person to carry between desks, floors or branch offices.
- About 54cm wide with the stand fitted — fits a standard office desk alongside a keyboard and document tray.
- Black finish — a plain, neutral look that suits reception counters, banking halls and open-plan offices.
- Base included in the box — clicks onto the monitor at setup and comes off when you move to a VESA arm.
