The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 suits Centurion buyers who want a fast, smooth gaming monitor for competitive play without moving into expensive specialist displays. Its 200Hz refresh rate gives extra headroom above the 165Hz brief, which is useful if your PC can push higher frame rates in esports titles.

Why 200Hz makes sense over basic 165Hz

The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 is the strongest value play if refresh rate is your main priority. At 240Hz, it gives noticeably more motion clarity than a standard 165Hz target, especially for quick camera movement, flick shots, and fast menu navigation.

The Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 is a practical budget pick for a smaller desk where speed matters more than a larger panel. Its 200Hz spec keeps gameplay responsive, while the R1,850 price makes it easier to pair with a mid-range desktop build.
