Dell SE2725HM is available at Mascom International for KSh 25,000, a 27-inch Full HD IPS monitor with a 100Hz refresh rate, HDMI and VGA inputs, and an anti-glare finish. This unit is brand new and sealed, in black, and comes with a 12-month warranty. The Dell SE2725HM shows 1920 x 1080 pixels on an IPS panel, which keeps colours steady when you look at it from the side. You can see it running at our store on the First Floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, before you pay a shilling.
Built for accountants, university students and home-office workers across Kenya, the Dell SE2725HM turns a cramped laptop screen into a wide desk view. A 14-inch laptop forces you to flip between a spreadsheet and an email all day. On this 27-inch panel, two windows sit side by side at readable sizes. Students at Kenyatta and JKUAT use the extra width for research papers beside their notes. The 100Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through long KRA iTax forms and bank statements look smoother than on a standard 60Hz office screen. A TÜV Rheinland 3-star eye comfort rating also helps on long evening shifts.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock unbranded monitors with no local backing, Mascom International sells the Dell SE2725HM with a written warranty and a service desk you can walk into. Customers across Nairobi tell us the jump from a laptop screen to 27 inches is the upgrade they notice most each morning. The Dell SE2725HM keeps setup simple: one HDMI cable, one power cable, and you are working. Visit us Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. The Dell SE2725HM reaches most Nairobi offices the same day.
Common Questions About the Dell SE2725HM
How much is the Dell SE2725HM monitor in Kenya?
The Dell SE2725HM costs KSh 25,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, as a sealed retail unit with a 12-month warranty. That price includes the stand, power cable and an HDMI cable, so most buyers can plug in a laptop the same day. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, meaning you check the monitor before paying in cash or by M-Pesa. If you want a USB hub and a height-adjustable stand, the Dell Pro P2426H costs KSh 5,000 more.
Should I buy the Dell SE2725HM or the Dell Pro P2426H?
Buy the Dell SE2725HM if screen size matters most, and the Dell Pro P2426H if ergonomics and ports matter more. The SE gives you 27 inches for KSh 25,000 with HDMI, VGA, 100Hz and a tilt-only stand. The P2426H costs KSh 30,000 for a 23.8-inch viewable panel, but adds 120Hz, DisplayPort, a USB hub with two 15W USB-C charging ports, 300 nits against 250 nits, and a stand that rises 150mm, swivels and turns portrait. Home users usually pick the SE; corporate desks lean towards the P2426H.
Will the Dell SE2725HM cope with dust, heat and bright office windows in Kenya?
The Dell SE2725HM handles typical Kenyan office conditions well, as long as it sits out of direct sun and gets a weekly dust wipe. Its anti-glare coating cuts reflections from bright windows in Westlands and Industrial Area offices. Wipe the panel with a dry microfibre cloth, never a rough tissue, because Nairobi dust scratches when dragged across a screen. It draws about 16.3W in typical use, so a small UPS keeps it running through short KPLC power cuts. Keep the rear vents clear on hot afternoons.
Who should buy the Dell SE2725HM, and who should skip it?
The Dell SE2725HM suits home offices, students, small shops and anyone who wants a big, simple second screen on a tight budget. It is not for buyers who need height adjustment, USB ports or a single-cable laptop connection, because it has none of those. Office managers equipping staff desks should look at the Dell Pro P2726H, which keeps the 27-inch size and adds a stand that rises, swivels and pivots. Photo editors who need wider colour coverage should look beyond this model too.
Can I connect the Dell SE2725HM to my laptop?
Yes, the Dell SE2725HM connects to any laptop with an HDMI port using the 1.8-metre HDMI cable in the box. It also has a VGA port for older desktops and office PCs that lack HDMI. There is no USB-C or DisplayPort input, so a laptop with only USB-C ports needs a USB-C to HDMI adapter or a dock such as the Dell Pro Dock WD25, priced at KSh 28,000 at Mascom International. Windows and macOS detect the monitor automatically.
Is the Dell SE2725HM good for gaming and consoles?
The Dell SE2725HM handles casual gaming, but it is not built for competitive players. Its 100Hz refresh rate gives smoother motion than a 60Hz screen when your PC can push that frame rate, and its 5ms fast response time keeps blur modest. It lacks AMD FreeSync, so fast PC games may show some tearing, where the picture briefly splits. A PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X plugs straight into the HDMI port for Full HD play. Serious gamers should choose a dedicated gaming monitor.
Will the Dell SE2725HM strain my eyes during long workdays?
The Dell SE2725HM is TÜV Rheinland certified for 3-star eye comfort, with a flicker-free backlight and low blue light output. Flicker-free means the backlight does not pulse at low brightness, a common cause of headaches on cheap screens. Low blue light trims the harsh part of the spectrum linked to evening eye fatigue. Together with the anti-glare surface, it suits lawyers, journalists and data clerks reading documents for eight hours or more. Place the top edge at eye level, about an arm's length away.
Can I mount the Dell SE2725HM on a wall or monitor arm?
Yes, the Dell SE2725HM supports 100 x 100mm VESA mounting, which fits most wall brackets and monitor arms sold in Nairobi. The stand detaches, leaving a panel that weighs about 3.56kg and measures 611.1mm wide and 49.2mm deep. Mounting matters here because the included stand only tilts, from -5 to 21 degrees, with no height or swivel adjustment. An arm lifts the screen to eye level and frees counter space in small shops and reception areas. Ask on WhatsApp about compatible arms.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel
- 27-inch IPS panel, 68.6cm diagonal — room for two documents side by side at full reading size.
- 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution — about 82 pixels per inch, clear for office text at normal sitting distance.
- 100Hz refresh rate — the image redraws 100 times a second, so scrolling and mouse movement look smoother than 60Hz.
- 178-degree viewing angles, horizontal and vertical — colours stay steady when a colleague looks on from the side.
- Anti-glare coating — cuts reflections from office windows and ceiling lights that wash out glossy screens.
Picture Quality and Eye Comfort
- 250 nits typical brightness — comfortable for indoor offices, bedrooms and classrooms with normal lighting.
- 1000:1 typical contrast — blacks look solid enough for documents, video calls and streaming films.
- 72% NTSC colour coverage with 16.7 million colours — fine for office work, browsing and video, not colour-critical print work.
- 5ms fast response, 8ms grey-to-grey — the time a pixel takes to change shade; lower means less smearing.
- TÜV Rheinland 3-star eye comfort, flicker-free and low blue light — eases eye fatigue over long workdays.
Audio and Power
- No built-in speakers — sound plays through your laptop, headphones or a separate desk speaker.
- No headphone output — plug headphones into the computer rather than the monitor.
- 16.3W typical power draw, 28W at peak — cheap to run and a light load for a small UPS, even when a router shares it.
- 0.3W in standby and off mode — the monitor uses almost nothing while your computer sleeps overnight.
- ENERGY STAR certified, about 16kWh per 1,000 hours of use — keeps monthly electricity costs low.
Software and Compatibility
- Plug-and-play on Windows and macOS — the computer recognises the monitor over HDMI without extra setup.
- Works with laptops, desktops, mini PCs, TV boxes and game consoles that output HDMI.
- Works as an extended second screen — email stays on the laptop while spreadsheets fill the 27-inch panel.
- USB-C-only laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter or a dock, since the monitor has no USB-C input.
- Built-in on-screen menu — adjust brightness, contrast and input source from the monitor itself, no software needed.
Connectivity
- 1 x HDMI input — the standard connection for modern laptops, desktops and consoles.
- 1 x VGA (D-Sub) input — the older analogue connection still found on many office desktops.
- Two inputs — connect a laptop and an older desktop together and switch between them from the menu.
- No DisplayPort, USB-C or USB hub — keep this in mind if your laptop relies on USB-C alone.
- 1.8-metre HDMI cable included — long enough to reach a laptop on most desks.
Build and Stand
- Tilt from -5 to 21 degrees — angle the screen to dodge glare; height and swivel are fixed.
- Detachable stand with 100 x 100mm VESA mount — move to an arm or wall bracket when space is tight.
- 611.1 x 453.7 x 199.9mm with stand — fits a standard office desk with keyboard room in front.
- 4.16kg with stand, 3.56kg without — light enough for one person to carry between rooms.
- 49.2mm deep without the stand — sits close to the wall when bracket-mounted.
Package Contents
The Dell SE2725HM box holds what you need to start working the day it arrives. Inside you get the monitor, its detachable stand, an AC power cable, a 1.8-metre HDMI cable and a quick start guide. The power supply is built into the monitor, so there is no separate adapter brick on the floor. No VGA cable comes in the box, so ask Mascom International for one if your older desktop needs it.
Warranty
The Dell SE2725HM ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Faults in the panel, backlight or ports that come from manufacturing are covered. Bring any claim to our Nairobi CBD service desk at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street.
