A 240Hz gaming monitor exists for one reason: to shave every possible millisecond off the time between your mouse moving and the screen showing it. This is the category for players who take competitive shooters seriously, where the difference between 144Hz and 240Hz shows up as smoother tracking and a fractionally faster read on enemy movement. With 15 models in stock at Evetech, all built around Full HD for maximum frame rate, here is what the current range costs.

Quick Answer

A 240Hz gaming monitor is available at Evetech from R2,199 including VAT, with 15 models currently in stock. Every panel on this list pairs 240Hz with Full HD resolution, which is a deliberate combination: keeping resolution low is what makes 240 frames per second achievable without needing a flagship graphics card. This is the monitor category built specifically for competitive online games, not general use.

💰 Current 240Hz gaming monitor prices in South Africa

Prices verified 16 July 2026. These are in-stock models at Evetech, cheapest first, and every price includes VAT.

  • Dell SE2426HG 24" FHD 240Hz IPS Gaming Monitor: R2,199
  • ViewSonic VX2779A-HD-PRO 27" 240Hz Gaming Monitor: R2,599
  • ViewSonic VX24G30 24" FHD 240Hz IPS Gaming Monitor: R2,699
  • ViewSonic VX2479A-HD-PRO 24" 240Hz Gaming Monitor: R2,799
  • Dahua LM27-E241B 27" FHD 240Hz Gaming Monitor: R2,899
  • ViewSonic 24in FHD 240Hz IPS-Level Gaming Monitor: R2,899

Every model here hits the same headline number, 240Hz, so the price differences come down to screen size and panel quality rather than speed. The Dell SE2426HG opens the range at R2,199 on a 24-inch IPS panel, which is genuinely all most competitive players need. Stepping up to 27 inches, as with the ViewSonic VX2779A-HD-PRO and Dahua LM27-E241B, costs a few hundred Rand more for a larger field of view without sacrificing the 240Hz refresh. See the full range on the gaming monitor page.

Since every panel here is already 240Hz, the smarter question is what else matters: response time, panel type and port selection. IPS panels, like the Dell and both IPS-labelled ViewSonic models, give better colour and viewing angles than older TN technology while still hitting the same refresh rate, so there is little reason to choose a non-IPS 240Hz panel today. Check the full monitor range if you also want to compare against 1080p options at lower refresh rates for a cheaper alternative.

⚡ Do you actually need 240Hz?

240Hz is a genuine, measurable upgrade over 144Hz for competitive shooters like Valorant and CS2, where fast, precise tracking is the whole game, but it is not a universal recommendation. To see real benefit you need a GPU capable of consistently hitting frame rates near 240fps, which at 1080p is achievable for most current mid-range cards in lighter competitive titles, but not in demanding AAA games. If you mostly play story-driven or graphically heavy games, a 144Hz 1440p monitor will look and feel better than a 240Hz 1080p one; 240Hz is a specialist tool for a specific kind of player.

🎮 Matching your GPU to 240 frames per second

Because every monitor in this list is Full HD, the GPU demand stays reasonable compared to chasing 240Hz at 1440p or 4K, which is a far heavier ask. A current mid-range card can hit close to 240fps in esports titles like Valorant, CS2 and Rocket League with settings tuned down, which is exactly the audience these monitors are built for. If you are aiming for 240fps in a heavier game, you will need a considerably stronger GPU, and the frame rate ceiling becomes the card, not the monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 240Hz gaming monitor cost in South Africa?

A 240Hz gaming monitor starts at R2,199 including VAT at Evetech, with 15 models in stock, all pairing 240Hz with Full HD resolution.

Is 240Hz worth it over 144Hz?

For competitive shooters, yes, many players can feel the difference in tracking and responsiveness. For general and story-driven gaming, the difference is far less noticeable and a 144Hz 1440p monitor is usually the better all-round choice.

What graphics card do I need for 240Hz gaming?

A current mid-range GPU can hit close to 240fps at 1080p in lighter esports titles like Valorant and CS2. Heavier games need a considerably stronger card to actually reach that frame rate.

Why are all 240Hz monitors Full HD rather than 1440p?

Keeping resolution at 1080p is what makes 240fps achievable without extreme GPU power. 240Hz 1440p and 4K monitors exist, but they demand far more from your graphics card to hit their full refresh rate.
