Product SKU: DHI-LM27-B200
Product Overview
For security operators who need a dependable dedicated display at an NVR workstation or control room desk, the Dahua DHI-LM27-B200 is a 27-inch Full HD LED-backlit surveillance monitor purpose-built for continuous monitoring use. Featuring a 1920×1080 resolution panel with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m² brightness, and 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it delivers consistent image clarity whether wall-mounted or positioned on its metal base stand. Equipped with both VGA and HDMI inputs, it connects directly to recorders, servers, or control room hardware without the need for adapters in most setups. The anti-blue light panel design reduces eye strain during extended viewing shifts, making it a practical choice for staffed monitoring environments. With VESA 75×75 compatibility and an ultra-narrow bezel profile, it suits tidy wall-mounted installations as well as desk-based stations where screen real estate matters.
Key Capabilities
Full HD 1920×1080 Panel
The 1920×1080 resolution at 27 inches produces a pixel density suited to reviewing live feeds and recorded footage without distortion, important when operators are identifying people or vehicles across multiple camera tiles on a single screen.
Anti-Blue Light Eye Protection
The anti-blue light panel design reduces the high-energy wavelengths associated with eye fatigue. This is particularly relevant at control room and monitoring desk installations where operators are viewing screens continuously for extended periods across a full shift.
Dual VGA and HDMI Inputs
With both VGA and HDMI inputs available, the DHI-LM27-B200 connects to a wide range of NVRs, DVRs, and control room PCs without requiring additional adapters. HDMI carries uncompressed digital video for cleaner output, while VGA covers legacy recorder hardware.
178-Degree Wide Viewing Angles
Horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178 degrees ensure that the displayed image remains consistent and colour-accurate whether viewed straight on or from an angle, useful in shared monitoring stations or where the screen is positioned off-centre from the operator.
VESA 75×75 Wall-Mount Ready
The VESA 75×75 mm mounting pattern allows the monitor to be fitted to a standard wall bracket or monitor arm, which is practical for control room installations where desk space is limited or where the display needs to be positioned at a specific height for standing or seated operators.
Best For
- NVR and DVR Monitoring Stations: Dual VGA and HDMI inputs connect directly to the majority of current Dahua recorders and most legacy systems, making this a straightforward primary display for a recorder-based setup.
- Staffed Control Room Desks: The anti-blue light panel and 27-inch screen size suit environments where an operator is reviewing live feeds or recordings for extended periods during a shift.
- Wall-Mounted Security Displays: VESA 75×75 compatibility allows clean wall or arm mounting in back-of-house monitoring areas, reception security desks, or compact control rooms where desk mounting is not preferred.
- Small to Mid-Sized Surveillance Installations: At 27 inches with a 1920×1080 panel, this monitor handles the typical multi-channel grid views used with 8 to 16 channel recorders without the image becoming cluttered or difficult to read.
Why Choose the DHI-LM27-B200
Pairing a recorder with a generic consumer monitor often results in a display that was never designed around the demands of continuous surveillance use. The DHI-LM27-B200 addresses this with a panel specification that suits the monitoring environment directly. The 3000:1 contrast ratio helps differentiate detail in dark areas of a frame, which matters when reviewing overnight footage or monitoring shaded outdoor zones. The 6.5 ms response time keeps motion in live feeds from producing noticeable blur across fast-moving subjects. The anti-blue light design is a practical consideration for any installation where a person will be in front of the screen for hours at a time, not just occasional checks. The ultra-narrow bezel and metal base give it a clean, professional appearance suited to client-facing monitoring areas. The DHI-LM27-B200 is available at Security Wholesalers for installers and integrators building or upgrading dedicated surveillance display setups.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm your recorder’s available video output before ordering. If your NVR or DVR has only an HDMI output, the DHI-LM27-B200 connects directly. If your recorder provides both VGA and HDMI, HDMI will deliver a cleaner digital signal and should be used in preference to VGA where both are available. This monitor does not have a video output port, so it cannot be used as a signal pass-through to a second display.

Ideal Use Cases
Security Control Rooms
The 178-degree viewing angles and 27-inch Full HD panel suit a staffed control room where operators need to view multi-channel grid layouts across an extended session without eye fatigue, supported by the anti-blue light panel design.
NVR and DVR Workstations
Dual VGA and HDMI inputs make this monitor compatible with most current and legacy Dahua recorders without adapters, providing a clean and direct connection for both footage review and live monitoring at a dedicated recorder station.
Reception and Back-of-House Monitoring
The ultra-narrow bezel and metal base give the DHI-LM27-B200 a tidy appearance suited to a reception desk security station or a back-of-house monitoring position where the display is visible to staff or clients.
Wall-Mounted Surveillance Displays
VESA 75×75 mm compatibility allows the monitor to be fitted to a standard wall bracket or monitor arm, useful in compact control rooms or monitoring areas where desk space is restricted and a fixed wall-mounted display is preferred.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a dedicated 27-inch Full HD surveillance monitor with both VGA and HDMI inputs for connection to an NVR or DVR, and the anti-blue light panel is a priority for an environment with extended operator viewing sessions.
- Choose a different model if: You require a larger panel size for a multi-monitor control room wall, a higher resolution display such as 4K for reviewing high-resolution camera feeds at full native quality, or built-in speakers confirmed as part of the monitor specification.
FAQs
- What video inputs does the DHI-LM27-B200 support?
The DHI-LM27-B200 has 1 x VGA and 1 x HDMI video input. It does not have a video output port, so it cannot pass a signal to a second display. If your recorder provides both output options, connecting via HDMI will deliver a cleaner digital signal than VGA.
- Does this monitor have built-in speakers?
The DHI-LM27-B200 datasheet confirms 1 x Audio Out port. Built-in speakers are not confirmed for this base model. If audio output from a recorder is required, you should verify speaker capability before purchasing or plan to connect external speakers via the audio out port.
- Can the DHI-LM27-B200 be wall-mounted?
Yes. The monitor supports VESA 75×75 mm mounting, which is compatible with the majority of standard wall brackets and monitor arms. It also includes a metal base stand for desk-mounted use. Mounting hardware is not confirmed as included, so a compatible VESA bracket should be sourced separately for wall installations.
- What is the anti-blue light feature and why does it matter for surveillance use?
The anti-blue light panel reduces the intensity of short-wavelength blue light emitted by the display. In surveillance monitoring environments where operators are watching screens continuously across a full shift, extended blue light exposure is associated with eye fatigue and discomfort. This feature is designed to reduce that effect over long viewing sessions.
- Is the DHI-LM27-B200 compatible with Dahua NVRs and DVRs?
Yes. Most Dahua NVRs and DVRs provide either HDMI or VGA video output, and the DHI-LM27-B200 accepts both. It functions as a standard display device, so it is also compatible with non-Dahua recorders and PCs that output via VGA or HDMI. The DHI-LM27-B200 is part of the Security Wholesalers range and can be paired with Dahua recorder hardware for a complete display solution.
- What is the power consumption of the DHI-LM27-B200?
Standard operating power consumption is 36 W. Standby consumption is confirmed at 0.5 W or less. The monitor accepts AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with standard Australian power supply without a voltage converter.
