Mascom International stocks the Dahua LM27-A221Y at KSh 15,000, brand new and sealed, giving you a 27-inch Full HD IPS screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Dahua LM27-A221Y shows 1920 by 1080 pixels on a wide panel with 178-degree viewing angles, so everyone on the sofa or around the study table sees true colours. It connects through one HDMI 1.4 port and one VGA port, and a flicker-free backlight keeps long sessions easier on the eyes. Find it on display at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for home offices and families across Kenya, the Dahua LM27-A221Y turns one laptop into a proper workstation by day and a shared screen by night. Parents working from home in Kilimani, Ruaka or Syokimau can spread a budget spreadsheet and a Teams call across a screen nearly twice the area of a 15.6-inch laptop. After work, children can run CBC research projects, typing lessons and online classes on the same Dahua LM27-A221Y without squinting at a small display. In the evening, plug in a streaming stick or a laptop running Netflix or Showmax, and the 27-inch panel works as a compact second television.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push 27-inch screens well past this budget, Mascom International offers the Dahua LM27-A221Y for under KSh 16,000 with a 12-month warranty serviced locally. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a single large monitor ends the daily queue for the family laptop, because two people can share one view. Our team will connect the Dahua LM27-A221Y to your own laptop in the shop so you can judge size and sharpness first. Order on WhatsApp and pay by M-Pesa or cash only after it reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Dahua LM27-A221Y
How much does the Dahua LM27-A221Y 27-inch monitor cost in Kenya?
The Dahua LM27-A221Y is priced at KSh 15,000 at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi, brand new and sealed in its box. The price covers the monitor, its stand base, a 12V power adapter, an HDMI cable and a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects. We deliver on pay-on-arrival terms, so families in Nyeri, Machakos or Kakamega can inspect the screen before paying. Compared with the 24.5-inch Dahua LM25-B221B at KSh 13,500, you pay KSh 1,500 more for the larger 27-inch area.
Is a 27-inch Full HD screen sharp enough for home office work?
Yes, the Dahua LM27-A221Y is sharp enough for documents, email and video calls when you sit at a normal desk distance of about 70cm. Its 1920 by 1080 pixels spread across 27 inches give roughly 82 pixels per inch, so text appears larger and easy to read. Up close, letters look a little softer than on a smaller screen with the same pixel count. Most home workers find the bigger, clearer text a relief after long days hunched over a laptop display.
How does the Dahua LM27-A221Y compare with the Dahua LM24-A200Y?
The Dahua LM27-A221Y gives you a bigger 27-inch IPS screen at 120Hz, while the Dahua LM24-A200Y offers a 23.8-inch VA screen at 100Hz for KSh 3,500 less. Both run Full HD with HDMI and VGA inputs. IPS keeps colours steady when several people watch from the side, which suits family viewing. The LM24-A200Y has deeper contrast, rated 3000:1 against 1200:1, and fits narrow desks better. Choose the 27-inch for a shared home setup and the 23.8-inch for a single office desk.
Can the Dahua LM27-A221Y help children with homework and online classes?
Yes, the Dahua LM27-A221Y gives children a large, steady view for online lessons, research and typing practice. Its flicker-free backlight avoids the rapid dimming some cheaper screens use, which can tire young eyes during long study evenings. Connect a laptop by HDMI, and a lesson video can sit on one half of the screen with notes on the other. Older desktops donated by a school or a relative can still plug in through the VGA port, so the family reuses equipment it already owns.
Does the Dahua LM27-A221Y work with a TV box or streaming stick for Netflix?
Yes, any streaming stick or Android TV box with HDMI output plugs into the Dahua LM27-A221Y and shows Netflix, Showmax or YouTube in Full HD. The monitor has no built-in speakers, so connect sound through the TV box's own audio output, a Bluetooth speaker or a soundbar that accepts it. It also has no TV tuner or remote control, so it cannot pick up free-to-air channels alone. Treat it as a large screen for a streaming device rather than a full replacement for a television.
How well does the Dahua LM27-A221Y handle KPLC outages and home power use?
The Dahua LM27-A221Y draws about 27W in typical use and under 0.5W in standby, which keeps it friendly to home solar setups and small UPS units. When KPLC power drops, a basic UPS can keep the screen and a laptop charger running long enough to finish a call or save a file. Plug the adapter into a surge-protected extension, because voltage spikes often follow when supply returns. That small draw also means evening streaming adds little to a prepaid token balance.
Who should buy the Dahua LM27-A221Y, and who should skip it?
The Dahua LM27-A221Y suits home workers, parents, students and families who want the biggest affordable screen for documents, homework and streaming. It works with nearly any laptop or desktop, old or new, thanks to its HDMI and VGA ports. Skip it if you play competitive shooters seriously, since it lacks DisplayPort and reaches 144Hz only through overclocking. The Dahua LM25-B221B at Mascom International runs 144Hz natively with DisplayPort and a 1ms MPRT response for KSh 13,500, making it the better pick for gamers.
Can I mount the Dahua LM27-A221Y on a wall at home?
Yes, the Dahua LM27-A221Y has a 100 x 100mm VESA mount on the back that accepts standard wall brackets and monitor arms. Wall mounting frees space on a small study desk or turns the screen into a kitchen or bedroom display for recipes and streaming. Brackets are an optional accessory sold separately, and we can advise on fitting one when you visit. At 3.4kg without the base, most standard brackets handle it easily, provided you fix the bracket into solid masonry rather than gypsum board.
