Quick Answer

A good 1440p monitor at Evetech runs around R4,000-R9,000. 1440p packs 78%% more pixels than 1080p for sharper text and detail without the GPU cost of 4K, so the right pick depends on matching the spec to how you'll actually use it rather than buying the cheapest box on the shelf.

What to look for in a 1440p monitor

A 27-inch 1440p 144Hz IPS panel is the productivity-and-gaming sweet spot. For remote work, prioritise an IPS panel with good colour accuracy and a USB-C input that charges a laptop. Focus on the spec that affects your daily use most, and skip premium features you won't touch.

Matching it to your setup

A 1440p monitor only delivers value when the rest of your kit supports it. Check the connection, the desk space it needs, and whether your PC or fibre line can keep up. Buying one notch above your current needs gives a little headroom; buying three notches above just wastes rand on capability you can't use yet.
