FAQ
What's the best 1440p monitor for a Randburg gaming PC under R6,000?
The LG 27GP850-B at ~R5,500 is the top pick — 165Hz Nano-IPS, fast 1ms GTG response, excellent factory calibration, and G-Sync Compatible. It's the most versatile 1440p gaming monitor in this price range and handles both competitive play and single-player visual fidelity well.
Does Evetech deliver monitors safely to Randburg?
Yes — monitors are shipped in their original protective foam packaging via Evetech's courier partners. Randburg suburbs receive delivery within 1–2 business days. Photograph any box damage before accepting delivery and report panel damage within 24 hours to initiate a replacement or repair claim.
Do I need DisplayPort or HDMI for 1440p 165Hz gaming?
For 1440p 165Hz from a PC, use DisplayPort 1.4 — it supports 1440p at 165Hz with full colour depth. HDMI 2.0 supports 1440p at 144Hz maximum. HDMI 1.4 (found on older PCs) caps at 1440p/75Hz. Most 1440p gaming monitors include an HDMI cable but not a DisplayPort cable — buy a 1.8m DP 1.4 cable (~R150) separately.
to Randburg, let the monitor warm up for 30 minutes before colour calibration — IPS panels shift slightly in colour temperature during the initial warm-up period, and calibrating on a cold panel gives less accurate results.
