The MSI MAG 274F at R3,006 suits buyers who want a fast 200Hz gaming monitor that can sit in landscape for play and rotate into a portrait side screen for market charts. It is the safest pick here because the refresh rate is strong enough for smooth motion, while the price still leaves room for a second panel later.
What to prioritise before mounting a vertical screen
The Dell SE2726H 144Hz at R1,797 is the value option if the vertical screen will mostly show chat, browser tabs, order books, or reference pages. Its 144Hz spec still feels cleaner than a basic office display, so it is not wasted when you switch back to casual play.
The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 makes more sense when motion clarity matters most. A 240Hz panel is useful for fast games on the main screen, and it is still practical as a rotated companion display because the price is not far above entry-level options.

For a shared gaming room, the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 is the more premium choice because QHD gives you extra desktop space for stacked windows without moving to an oversized panel. If the budget is tighter, the Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 keeps the 200Hz refresh rate at a lower price, which helps when building a two-screen layout.
