Quick Answer

Krugersdorp remote workers who also game competitively should target the AOC 24G2SP (R4,200) or MSI Optix MAG251RX (R5,800) — both are 240Hz 1080p IPS panels in stock at Evetech with sub-1ms GTG response. An RTX 4060 pairs well with either, consistently reaching 200–280 fps in CS2 at 1080p.

Who benefits from 240Hz in a Krugersdorp remote-work setup

240Hz makes the most sense if you play aim-intensive esports titles (CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends) and your GPU can sustain 200+ fps. Below that frame rate, you won't see the full benefit over a 165Hz panel. For pure remote work, 75Hz or 144Hz is sufficient. The exception is desktop feel — 240Hz makes Windows scrolling and cursor movement noticeably silkier, which some workers find reduces visual fatigue over long sessions.

240Hz at 1080p vs 144Hz at 1440p: which is better?

For competitive gaming, 240Hz/1080p wins — lower resolution means higher GPU frame rates. For remote work text quality and general visual comfort, 144Hz/1440p wins — sharper text at 109 PPI versus 93 PPI at 24-inch 1080p. The MSI MAG274QRF (~R6,200) at 165Hz/1440p is the compromise option for Krugersdorp buyers who refuse to choose. For dedicated esports players, 240Hz/1080p remains the pro standard.

FAQ

What refresh rate is best for CS2 players in SA?

240Hz at 1080p is the standard in professional and semi-professional CS2 play. At 1080p with Low-Medium settings, even an RTX 4060 maintains 250+ fps consistently, making the full 240Hz usable.

Can a 240Hz monitor be used for Zoom calls and remote-work tasks?

Yes — a 240Hz monitor works exactly like any other display for productivity. The high refresh rate makes mouse cursor movement smoother, which some users find reduces eyestrain during long browsing and document sessions.

Does Evetech deliver 240Hz monitors to Krugersdorp on the West Rand?

Yes — Evetech ships nationally via courier to Krugersdorp. Most in-stock 24-inch monitor orders arrive in 2–3 business days.

TIP

your 240Hz monitor, go to Windows Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings and confirm the refresh rate is set to 240Hz — it often defaults to 60Hz on first connection and you'll miss the entire reason you bought it.
