Music production benefits from a dual-monitor setup in SA because the arrangement, mixer and plugin windows can be split while the same desk still supports gaming. A 100Hz or higher main display helps play feel smoother, but studio-style window space is the practical gain.
Yes, the MSI MAG 274F at R3,006 suits a creator-gamer who wants one fast 200Hz screen as the main gaming monitor and a second display for timelines, chats, or reference panels. A dual-screen layout makes sense when the desk is used for both play and production, because the primary screen can stay clean while the secondary screen carries controls, playlists, meters, or browser notes.
The MSI MAG 274F at R3,006 is the stronger main-display pick from this list because its 200Hz refresh rate gives games a very responsive feel while still leaving enough budget room to add a second panel. Pairing it with the Dell SE2726H at R1,797 gives you a sensible split: speed in front, workspace on the side.
The ViewSonic VX2779A at R2,350 is also compelling if high refresh matters most, since its 240Hz spec is the fastest option listed here. For a dual-monitor setup, it works well as the centre display while a cheaper secondary screen handles non-critical windows.
On a creator desk, the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 is the neatest productivity-leaning option because QHD gives more room for arrangement, while 200Hz still keeps the setup gaming-ready. If the desk is tight, the Dahua LM25 at R1,850 brings 200Hz at a lower price, which makes a two-screen setup easier to justify without making the whole workstation feel oversized.

Check whether your music software can keep the timeline, mixer and plugins visible without blocking the gaming screen layout.
Screen area matters most for music production, while refresh matters more when the same setup switches to gaming.
Choose enough room for mixer and plugin panels, then add 100Hz or higher refresh if gaming is a regular use.
Prioritise 100Hz or higher refresh when gaming time is significant, but music work mainly needs organised window space.
A gaming desk can fit the monitors if it also leaves space for audio controls, keyboard and mouse movement.
