Does a dual-monitor setup make sense for both gaming and CCTV monitoring in SA?

Yes, the Dell SE2726H 144Hz at R1,797 suits a home user who wants a second screen for camera feeds while keeping the main gaming monitor free for play. A dual-screen layout makes sense when the CCTV view needs to stay visible, but it should not steal focus from the game, chat, browser, or system monitoring.

Best dual-screen starting point

The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 is the stronger main display if the gaming side matters most. Its 200Hz spec gives smoother motion than a basic office screen, while the second display can carry CCTV footage, Discord, or a browser window without constant alt-tabbing.

The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 is a good value-first pick for the primary position. The 240Hz refresh rate gives fast-paced games more headroom, and the price leaves room to pair it with a cheaper secondary screen for monitoring duties.

Gaming room and CCTV corner

For a gaming room with a small CCTV feed, the Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 makes practical sense as the side monitor. Its 200Hz spec is still gaming-friendly, so it is not wasted if you move it into the main seat later, and the lower price keeps the setup realistic for a SA home or small counter.
