Quick Answer
For competitive play in Benoni a 1080p or 1440p 240Hz IPS monitor is the pick, and Evetech stocks them from roughly R5,000 to R12,000. To actually feed 240 fps in Valorant, CS2 or Apex you want at least an RTX 4060 at 1080p or an RTX 4070 at 1440p.
Resolution, Panel And The GPU To Match
A 240Hz panel only helps if your GPU pushes frames near that rate. At 1080p an RTX 4060 holds 200-300 fps in esports titles; at 1440p an RTX 4070 or better is the realistic minimum for high frame rates. Choose a fast IPS panel for colour and viewing angles over an older TN, and confirm a 1ms grey-to-grey response so motion stays sharp. 27 inches at 1440p is the modern sweet spot for desk distance.
Sync, Response And Real Smoothness
Enable adaptive sync (FreeSync or G-Sync Compatible) to remove tearing between 48Hz and 240Hz. A 1ms response and a good overdrive setting prevent ghosting trails behind fast targets. For pure competitive play, lower input lag and high refresh beat HDR brightness, so do not pay extra for HDR you will switch off in ranked. Connect over DisplayPort 1.4 to reach the full 240Hz at native resolution.

Evetech ships nationwide, so Benoni buyers order online and Evetech's courier reaches most East Rand addresses within 1-3 working days. Check the parcel against the invoice on delivery. Evetech stocks 240Hz IPS panels locally with SA warranty, including dead- pixel cover terms worth checking. A UJ, Wits and local TVET campuses student gaming competitively should pair a 1080p 240Hz panel with an RTX 4060 for the best frames-per-rand, then move to 1440p when the GPU allows.
FAQ
Do I need a strong GPU for a 240Hz monitor in Benoni?
Yes, to use the refresh rate. At 1080p an RTX 4060 pushes 200-300 fps in esports titles, while 1440p at high frame rates wants an RTX 4070 or better. A weaker GPU leaves much of the 240Hz panel unused.
Is 240Hz worth it over 144Hz?
For competitive shooters, the jump from 144Hz to 240Hz gives smoother motion and a slight aim edge, especially with a GPU that can feed it. For single-player or casual play, 144Hz is already excellent and cheaper.
1080p or 1440p at 240Hz?
1080p 240Hz is easier to drive and the value esports choice with an RTX 4060. 1440p 240Hz looks sharper and suits mixed gaming but needs an RTX 4070-class GPU to hit high frame rates consistently.
panel to your GPU; pair 1080p 240Hz with an RTX 4060, enable FreeSync or G-Sync, and connect over DisplayPort 1.4 for the full refresh rate.
