The Dell SE2726H 144Hz at R1,797 suits a student who wants a simple, affordable screen for notes, lectures, and after-class play without overbuying.

The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 is a stronger pick when the screen will be used every day for study and gaming. If you want more desktop room, the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 adds QHD detail with the same 200Hz refresh class.
