Photoshop use changes the 27-inch monitor decision because colour, detail and workspace matter alongside 100Hz or higher refresh for gaming. SA buyers should favour the screen that handles editing comfortably, then check that games still feel smooth enough.
The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 suits a buyer who wants one 27-inch gaming monitor for fast play and a smoother creator desk without jumping to a much higher spend.
For a desk that switches between matches and Photoshop, the MSI MAG 274F makes sense because its 200Hz spec gives motion plenty of headroom while the R3,006 price still sits in a practical mid-range. It is the safer choice when one screen needs to feel quick for gaming but not look like an impulse buy for a work corner.
The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 is the value play if speed matters most. Its 240Hz spec is the highest refresh rate in this list, so it suits buyers who care more about responsive movement than stepping up to a costlier panel.
On a home creator desk, the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 has the strongest argument when screen space matters. The QHD spec gives a cleaner working canvas than a basic 27-inch screen while 200Hz keeps the setup credible for after-hours gaming.
If the budget is tighter, the Dell SE2726H 144Hz at R1,797 is the sensible floor for this category. Its 144Hz spec is enough for a smoother feel than standard office screens, while the Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 pushes refresh rate higher for only a small step up in price.

Use the 27-inch space for toolbars and image previews, but avoid a refresh choice that makes games feel uneven.
Prioritise 100Hz or higher refresh only after the panel gives Photoshop work a clean, readable editing area.
