Delivery and Pickup Details for Boksburg

Boksburg is in East Rand Ekurhuleni, part of Evetech's Gauteng next-day courier zone. Same-day dispatch applies for orders placed before noon on weekdays. Monitors are double-boxed: the original panel packaging sits inside an outer courier box with foam padding at each corner. Couriers require a signature — inspect the outer box for visible damage before signing. Collect-in-store may also be available; check options when placing your order.

GPU and Monitor Pairing at 1440p

RTX 4060 Ti (R9,500–R11,000): 100–130 fps at 1440p High in most titles. Pair with a 144–165 Hz IPS panel at R5,499–R6,999. RTX 4070 (R12,500–R14,000): 120–160 fps at 1440p High-Ultra. Well-matched to 165 Hz IPS at R6,999–R7,999. RTX 4080 (R22,000+): 170–220 fps at 1440p, benefits from a 240 Hz panel at R8,000–R9,999 to avoid the frame-rate headroom being wasted on a 165 Hz panel.

Resolution, Refresh Rate, and Panel Type

At 2560 × 1440 on a 27-inch screen, pixel density is 109 PPI — noticeably crisper than 1080p (81 PPI at 27 inches). Panel type choices: IPS offers 178° viewing angles and ~800:1 contrast; VA provides 3,000:1+ contrast for dark-room gaming. IPS handles fast motion better (1–3 ms GtG vs VA's occasional smearing at 4–8 ms GtG on non-premium models). FreeSync Premium (minimum 120 Hz + LFC) ensures tear-free gameplay across the variable frame rate range of your GPU.

FAQ

What ZAR price should a Boksburg gamer spend on a 1440p monitor?

R5,999–R7,499 covers the mainstream sweet spot — IPS 1440p 165 Hz with FreeSync Premium. This is enough monitor for an RTX 4070-class gaming rig and most SA gamers' needs. R8,000–R9,999 is justified for competitive 240 Hz gaming or creative work requiring wide colour gamut.

What cable gives full 1440p 165 Hz performance?

DisplayPort 1.4 is the recommended cable for 1440p at 144–165 Hz. HDMI 2.0 supports 1440p at 144 Hz max; HDMI 1.4 caps at 1440p 60 Hz. Always check which cable is included in the box — many monitors bundle HDMI rather than DisplayPort.

Can I use a 1440p monitor for both gaming and office work?

Absolutely — 2560 × 1440 provides significantly more screen space than 1080p. At 27 inches, you can comfortably run two windows side by side, and the wider colour gamut on IPS panels (98%+ sRGB) means documents and images display accurately for office use and creative tasks.

TIP

a 1440p monitor in Boksburg, connect via DisplayPort to your GPU (not your motherboard video output) for maximum bandwidth and refresh-rate support — HDMI works but may limit you to 60 Hz on older ports.
