Quick Answer

Krugersdorp gamers after a 240 Hz monitor should order through Evetech, where 24-inch 1080p 240 Hz IPS panels are currently stocked from around R3,000–R4,500 and 27-inch 1440p 240 Hz options sit in the R6,500–R10,000 range. A 240 Hz monitor only delivers its benefit when your GPU sustains 200+ fps — at 1080p that requires an RTX 4060 or above in CS2, Valorant, and Apex Legends.

Do You Actually Need 240 Hz?

240 Hz versus 144 Hz is a measurable improvement in competitive FPS gaming — the frame-to-display latency drops from ~7 ms to ~4 ms, and motion clarity improves, especially during fast mouse swipes. Research consistently shows competitive players perceive and benefit from the step up from 144 Hz to 240 Hz in fast titles. For casual and single-player gamers, 165 Hz is plenty. For Krugersdorp players who compete seriously in CS2, Valorant, or Apex Legends, 240 Hz is the upgrade that matters.

GPU Requirements: Can You Actually Hit 240 fps?

At 1080p, an RTX 4060 delivers 250–350 fps in CS2 and Valorant, making a 240 Hz 1080p monitor well-matched. At 1440p 240 Hz, you need an RTX 4070+ to sustain 200+ fps in competitive titles. If your GPU is an RTX 3060 or below, buy the 1440p 165 Hz panel instead — you can't feed a 240 Hz panel enough frames to benefit from the refresh rate upgrade.

Panel Type at 240 Hz: IPS vs OLED

Most 240 Hz monitors at the R3,000–R5,000 price point use fast IPS panels with 1 ms GTG response — correct for competitive gaming. OLED 240 Hz panels start above R6,000 and deliver 0.03 ms response alongside infinite contrast, which is a real advantage in dark game environments. For pure competitive play where colour accuracy matters less, fast IPS is sufficient. For competitive play with visual quality as a secondary priority, OLED is the upgrade.

FAQ

Can I feel the difference between 144 Hz and 240 Hz?

Yes — most players notice smoother cursor movement and cleaner target tracking at 240 Hz compared to 144 Hz, particularly during fast mouse swipes in FPS titles. The improvement is less dramatic than the jump from 60 Hz to 144 Hz, but it's real and measurable in competitive settings.

What resolution is best for a 240 Hz competitive gaming monitor?

For entry competitive setups (RTX 4060 or equivalent), 1080p 240 Hz is the matched choice — the GPU sustains 200+ fps comfortably. For a more powerful GPU (RTX 4070+), a 1440p 240 Hz panel provides both competitive refresh rate and better visual detail in games you switch between.

Does Evetech stock 240 Hz monitors for delivery to Krugersdorp?

Evetech ships to Krugersdorp and the West Rand with next-business-day Gauteng courier on in-stock items. Monitor stock at Evetech changes regularly — use the product page live indicator to confirm availability before placing your order.

TIP

your GPU can sustain 200+ fps for a 240 Hz monitor, run your primary competitive game with the in-game fps counter enabled and note your average — if you're averaging below 180 fps, a 165 Hz monitor is the more practical choice at your current GPU tier.
