For the typical Tokoza buyer who games across multiple genres and uses the monitor for study, IPS at R3,500–R5,500 is the recommended pick. VA is a better choice if atmospheric or horror games dominate your gaming time.

Absolutely — the combination of 1440p resolution (109 PPI) and 100 Hz refresh rate delivers both sharper visuals and smoother motion versus 1080p 60 Hz. It is one of the most impactful single upgrades a PC gamer or student can make to their setup.
An RTX 3060 Ti averages 70–90 fps at 1440p high in most games — a good match for a 100 Hz panel. An RTX 4060 pushes 100–120 fps consistently at 1440p, making full use of any 100–144 Hz panel in this budget tier.
who do both gaming and study should lean towards IPS at 1440p — the colour accuracy advantage over VA is meaningful for document work, digital art, and video content, while the 100–144 Hz refresh rate is smooth enough for competitive play.
