Dahua LM27-A200D 27" Full HD VA Monitor - 100Hz, 5ms, HDMI/VGA
The Dahua LM27-A200D is a 27-inch Full HD monitor on a VA panel, running at 100 Hz with a 3000:1 static contrast ratio and 178-degree viewing angles in both directions. It takes HDMI or VGA, carries a pair of 1 W speakers, and runs from an external 12 V adapter. A straightforward desktop monitor for office and home use rather than a gaming display.
Why this product
27-inch Full HD VA panel
1920 x 1080 across 27 inches on a VA panel, with 178-degree viewing angles horizontally and vertically.
100 Hz refresh rate
Faster than the 60 Hz usual at this price, so scrolling and cursor movement look smoother.
3000:1 static contrast
The VA panel gives deeper blacks than a typical IPS or TN monitor in the same bracket.
Built-in speakers
Two 1 W speakers, so a second set of desk speakers is not essential for video calls or background audio.
HDMI and VGA
One HDMI input and one VGA input, so it will take an older machine as well as a current one. An HDMI cable is supplied.
VESA 100 x 100 mm
Standard VESA mounting if you would rather put it on an arm than the supplied stand.

- Inputs: 1 x HDMI and 1 x VGA. An HDMI cable and the power adapter are supplied in the box.
- VESA 100 x 100 mm mounting.
- Two 1 W built-in speakers.
- The stand tilts only, from -15 to +5 degrees. There is no height adjustment, swivel or pivot.
- Power comes from an external 12 V 3 A adapter rather than an internal power supply, so there is a brick on the cable.
- Dahua quotes the 5 ms response time as an overdrive figure and does not state whether it is measured grey-to-grey. Treat it as an office-monitor response time rather than a gaming one.
- No DisplayPort, no USB hub and no VGA cable in the box. Dahua does not specify adaptive sync (FreeSync or G-Sync) for this model.
Best for
- Office desks, reception and back-office machines where a large, clear 27-inch screen matters more than colour accuracy.
- Replacing an older 1080p monitor, since the VGA input will take legacy hardware.
- Film and general viewing, where the 3000:1 VA contrast shows.
- Multi-monitor walls on arms, thanks to VESA 100 x 100 mounting.
Trade-offs
- Competitive gaming: 100 Hz is welcome, but Dahua publishes no adaptive sync and the 5 ms figure is an unqualified overdrive number.
- Colour-critical work: Dahua does not publish a colour gamut figure for this panel, and brightness is 250 nits.
- Ergonomic setups: tilt is the only adjustment the stand offers.
- Desks where you want a single mains cable: this model uses an external power brick.
The Dahua LM27-A200D is a 27-inch Full HD monitor built on a VA panel. It runs at 100 Hz, which is a step up from the 60 Hz usual in this part of the market, and the VA panel gives a 3000:1 static contrast ratio with 178-degree viewing angles horizontally and vertically. Brightness is 250 cd/m2 and the panel displays 16.7 million colours.
Inputs are one HDMI and one VGA, so the monitor will take an older machine as well as a current one. There is no DisplayPort and no USB hub. Two 1 W speakers are built in. Power comes from an external 12 V 3 A adapter rather than an internal supply, drawing 36 W or less in use and 0.5 W or less on standby.
The stand tilts from -15 to +5 degrees and does not offer height adjustment, swivel or pivot, but the chassis carries a standard VESA 100 x 100 mm pattern if you would rather use a monitor arm. The monitor measures 613.1 x 362.7 x 58.4 mm without its base and weighs 5.14 kg.
Two things worth being straight about. Dahua quotes the 5 ms response time as an overdrive figure and does not say whether it is measured grey-to-grey, so this is an office-monitor response time rather than a gaming one. Dahua also publishes no adaptive sync support (FreeSync or G-Sync) for this model, so we are not claiming any.
In the box: the monitor, its base, an HDMI cable and the power adapter. A VGA cable is not supplied. Dahua part number DHI-LM27-A200D.
