A 165Hz monitor can suit gaming and music production in SA when smooth play shares the desk with DAW timeline work. Use the 165 screen updates per second as the speed baseline, then judge LG 34WK650 or Dell Pro 24 E2425HSM by panel type, stand adjustment, ports and resolution.
The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 suits an SA creator who wants one gaming monitor for smooth play and a responsive music production desk without stretching into premium pricing. A 165Hz screen can make sense, but when 200Hz and 240Hz options are this close in price, it is usually smarter to buy the faster panel and keep the setup useful for longer.
The Dell SE2726H 144Hz at R1,797 is the lowest-cost option here, and its 144Hz refresh rate is already a clear upgrade over a basic office display. It works for casual gaming and arrangement work where the bigger win is having a dedicated screen for timelines, plugins, and browser tabs.
The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 is the sharper value jump if gaming matters more. Its 240Hz spec gives faster motion than a typical 165Hz choice, while the price stays low enough for a student or home creator desk that also needs space for a MIDI keyboard or audio interface.
For a creator desk, the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 is the most balanced pick because QHD gives extra workspace for music production timelines while 200Hz still feels fast in competitive play. The Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 is better when the budget is tight but the goal is still a high-refresh display for after-hours gaming.
