Quick Answer

For Deadlock, the monitor setup SA players favour is a 1080p or 1440p 165Hz IPS panel, stepping to 240Hz for competition. A 1080p 165Hz IPS near R4,500 or a 1440p 165Hz IPS near R6,500 both suit the game, fed by a Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4060-class GPU past 144fps.

A Practical Deadlock Monitor Setup

Deadlock's mix of shooter aim and MOBA awareness rewards both smooth motion and a clear screen. Set a 165Hz or 240Hz panel to its full refresh in Windows and your GPU control panel, enable FreeSync or G-Sync for tear-free motion, and cap your in-game frame rate just above the refresh for consistency. A 1ms GtG response time keeps fast tracking sharp. For competitive reaction speed pick 1080p 240Hz; for map clarity pick 1440p 165Hz.

Hardware and Frame-Rate Targets

A 1080p 165Hz IPS near R4,500 is the value pick; a 1440p 165Hz IPS near R6,500 adds map detail; a 1080p 240Hz IPS near R6,500-R9,000 is the competitive option. Deadlock runs past 144fps at 1080p on a Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4060-class GPU, and an RTX 4070-class card lifts you toward 240fps. Choose IPS for colour and viewing angles, and confirm the panel's full refresh is active after setup.
