Dahua LM25-B221B | 24.5-inch FHD | 144Hz Refresh Rate | 1ms MPRT Response | IPS Panel
Fast, fluid frames for budget competitive shooters and esports titles on Kenyan gaming rigs.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Dahua LM25-B221B is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 13,500, brand new and sealed, with a 24.5-inch Full HD IPS panel refreshing at 144Hz. The Dahua LM25-B221B pairs that refresh rate with a 1ms MPRT response, so moving targets stay readable instead of smearing into a blur. On the back you get HDMI, DisplayPort and a 3.5mm audio out, and the box carries an HDMI cable, a power adapter and a metal base. Come and see it running at our first-floor shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for players stepping up from a 60Hz screen or a TV, the Dahua LM25-B221B handles Valorant, CS2, Fortnite, Apex Legends and EA Sports FC at frame rates a cheap office monitor simply cannot show. At 60Hz your graphics card may render 140 frames a second, yet you only see 60 of them. The Dahua LM25-B221B displays up to 144, so flick shots and quick turns feel connected to your mouse. The 24.5-inch size is the one most esports players use, because the whole map sits inside your eye line without turning your head. Students at JKUAT, Strathmore and Kenyatta University can fit it on a hostel desk.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list grey-import gaming screens with no local cover, Mascom International sells the Dahua LM25-B221B with a 12-month warranty handled in Nairobi. At Mascom International, we're seeing more first-time PC builders choose a 144Hz panel before upgrading their graphics card, since the screen changes how every game feels. Bring your laptop or test the Dahua LM25-B221B with our demo machine before paying. Prefer delivery? Order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival, by cash or M-Pesa, anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dahua LM25-B221B
What is the Dahua LM25-B221B 144Hz monitor price in Kenya?
The Dahua LM25-B221B sells for KSh 13,500 at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi, brand new and sealed. For that you get the monitor, a metal stand base, a power adapter, an HDMI cable and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties, so a gamer in Eldoret or Mombasa can check the panel before paying. A DisplayPort cable is not in the box. The 100Hz Dahua LM24-A200Y office screen costs KSh 2,000 less.
Is 144Hz worth it for a first gaming monitor in Kenya?
Yes, 144Hz is the single biggest upgrade most new PC gamers notice, and the Dahua LM25-B221B delivers it for KSh 13,500. The screen refreshes 144 times a second instead of 60, so aiming, tracking and camera turns look far more fluid. The benefit depends on your PC actually producing high frame rates. A mid-range graphics card handles esports titles such as Valorant, CS2 and Rocket League well above 100 frames per second at 1080p. Heavy single-player games may run lower, though still smoother than on 60Hz.
How does the Dahua LM25-B221B compare with the Dahua LM27-A221Y for gaming?
The Dahua LM25-B221B suits competitive play better, while the Dahua LM27-A221Y trades speed for a bigger 27-inch screen at KSh 15,000. The LM25-B221B runs 144Hz natively and adds DisplayPort and an audio out. The LM27-A221Y runs 120Hz natively, reaches 144Hz only through overclocking, and connects through HDMI and VGA. Both share Full HD resolution, so pixels look larger on the 27-inch. Choose the 24.5-inch for shooters and ranked matches, and the 27-inch for relaxed gaming and films.
Which connection should I use to get 144Hz on the Dahua LM25-B221B?
DisplayPort is the surest way to run the Dahua LM25-B221B at 144Hz from a gaming PC, so buy a DisplayPort cable if your graphics card has the port. After connecting, open Windows display settings, find the refresh rate option and set it to 144Hz, because many PCs stay at 60Hz by default. Plug the cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard, or you will bypass your GPU entirely. Laptops with only HDMI can still connect using the included cable.
Can the Dahua LM25-B221B handle Kenyan power cuts and heat in a gaming setup?
Yes, the Dahua LM25-B221B draws about 19W in typical use through a 12V adapter, so it adds little load to a UPS during KPLC outages. A gaming PC pulls far more power than the monitor, so size your UPS for the tower first. Keep the screen out of direct afternoon sun, especially in hot rooms in Mombasa or Kisumu, and wipe dust from the rear vents every few weeks. A surge-protected extension guards the adapter when power returns with a spike.
Can I use the Dahua LM25-B221B with a PS5 or Xbox?
Yes, the Dahua LM25-B221B connects to a PS5 or Xbox Series console through its HDMI port using the cable supplied in the box. Consoles output 1080p happily to this screen, and the IPS panel keeps colours consistent from your couch angle. The 144Hz advantage mainly benefits PC players, since consoles cap their own frame rates per game. For sound, plug headphones or a speaker into the 3.5mm audio out, which passes the console's HDMI audio through without a separate adapter.
Who should buy the Dahua LM25-B221B, and who should skip it?
The Dahua LM25-B221B is for budget PC gamers, cyber and gaming lounge owners, and students who want their first high-refresh screen without spending past KSh 15,000. It suits Valorant, CS2, Fortnite, eFootball and similar titles where reaction time matters. Skip it if your computer has only integrated graphics and struggles to pass 60 frames, since the extra hertz go unused. Accountants and admin staff working mostly on spreadsheets will be well served by the cheaper Dahua LM24-A200Y.
Does the Dahua LM25-B221B suit long gaming and study sessions?
Yes, the Dahua LM25-B221B includes a low blue light mode that reduces the harsh blue part of the backlight during late-night sessions. The IPS panel keeps colours steady at 178 degrees, so the picture looks the same whether you lean in during a clutch round or sit back for lectures on YouTube. The stand tilts back and forward to set a comfortable angle, and a 100 x 100mm VESA mount lets you raise it on an arm. Regular breaks still matter more than any setting.
Technical Specifications
Display Panel
- 24.5-inch IPS panel — IPS (in-plane switching) keeps colours accurate when you view the screen from an angle.
- 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution — light enough on a graphics card to reach high frame rates in esports games.
- 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles — a friend watching your match sees the same colours you do.
- About 85% NTSC colour coverage — a measure of how many colours the panel can show, solid for gaming and streaming.
- Ultra-narrow bezel on three sides — thin borders keep attention on the game and help if you add a second screen.
Gaming Performance and Picture
- 144Hz refresh rate — the image updates 144 times a second, more than double a standard 60Hz monitor.
- 1ms MPRT response — MPRT measures motion blur; a low figure keeps fast-moving players sharp during quick turns.
- 16.7 million colours — rich enough for game art, Twitch streams and photo browsing on the same screen.
- Flat 16:9 screen — the standard esports shape, so in-game crosshairs and HUDs line up as designers intended.
- Low blue light mode — trims harsh blue light for evening sessions without changing your game settings.
Audio
- No built-in speakers — game sound comes through headphones, a headset or external speakers instead.
- 3.5mm audio out — pass sound from the PC or console over HDMI or DisplayPort straight to your headset.
- One cable for picture and sound — handy for consoles, which send audio through HDMI by default.
- Headset-friendly layout — plug your headset into the monitor and keep cables off a crowded desk.
- Volume adjusted at the source — set levels in Windows, the console menu or the headset itself.
Connectivity
- 1 x DisplayPort input — the most reliable path to 144Hz from a desktop graphics card; cable sold separately.
- 1 x HDMI input — connects gaming laptops, PS5, Xbox Series consoles and older PCs using the included cable.
- 3.5mm audio output — a headphone jack on the monitor, useful when your desktop sits under the desk.
- Two video inputs — keep a PC on DisplayPort and a console on HDMI, then switch through the menu.
- HDMI cable included in the box — a laptop or console works on day one with no extra purchase.
Power and Efficiency
- External 12V, 2.5A power adapter — keeps heat away from the panel and the monitor body slim.
- About 19W in typical use — over a 4-hour gaming session that totals roughly 0.08 kWh of electricity.
- Low draw on a UPS — the monitor adds little load, leaving backup capacity for the gaming PC itself.
- Power adapter included — the correct supply comes in the box, so there is no hunt for a matching brick.
- Turn it off at the wall overnight — a simple habit that also protects the adapter from surges.
Build and Mounting
- Metal stand base — heavier and steadier than a plastic foot, so the screen wobbles less during intense play.
- Tilt adjustment from about -5 to 20 degrees — angle the panel to match your chair and eye level.
- 100 x 100mm VESA mount — fits standard monitor arms and wall brackets, sold separately.
- About 56cm wide — leaves room for a full keyboard and a large mouse pad on a standard desk.
- Black finish — a clean look that suits gaming setups, hostel rooms and gaming lounges alike.
