The DAHUA DHI-LM27-A201X 27" LED MONITOR 100Hz at R1500 is the budget-friendly large-screen option if the priority is assignments, browser tabs, video lectures, and casual play. Its 27-inch size makes split-screen work easier, while 100Hz still feels cleaner than a basic office display.

The Dell 24 - SE2426H - (23.8") (1920x1080) FHD IPS Monitor 210-BVCB at R1532 is easier to place on a cramped desk, while the 23.8-inch FHD IPS panel keeps text and lecture notes readable without demanding a powerful graphics setup.
