Quick Answer

Pretoria East 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 panels sit in the R6,500–R10,000 range. A 240 Hz monitor delivers its full benefit only when your GPU consistently outputs 200+ fps — at 1080p, an RTX 4060 hits 250–350 fps in CS2 and Valorant, making it the natural match.

The GPU-to-Monitor Pairing Check

A 240 Hz monitor fed 140 fps is running at 140 Hz — you're not getting the full refresh benefit. To utilise 240 Hz properly, your GPU needs to sustain 200+ fps in your primary game. At 1080p in competitive titles: RTX 4060 delivers 250–350 fps in CS2, 180–220 fps in Apex Legends. At 1440p in competitive titles: RTX 4070 hits 200–280 fps in CS2, 150–180 fps in Apex Legends. Match your GPU to your target resolution before buying the monitor.

1080p vs 1440p at 240 Hz

A 24-inch 1080p 240 Hz panel is the classic esports setup — adequate sharpness for fast competitive play and the GPU can easily sustain 200+ fps. A 27-inch 1440p 240 Hz panel adds sharpness (108 PPI vs 94 PPI) and suits players who switch between competitive and AAA single-player titles. The 1440p option costs R3,000–R5,500 more and requires a stronger GPU — the right choice for a Pretoria East player with an RTX 4070 or above.

Panel Type: IPS vs OLED at 240 Hz

Fast IPS panels at R3,000–R5,000 deliver 1 ms GTG response and accurate colours — the standard esports pick. OLED 240 Hz panels (available from R6,000+) add 0.03 ms response and true-black contrast, which is visually significant in dark environments. For pure competitive play, fast IPS is sufficient. For a combined competitive and visual quality setup, OLED is the upgrade.

FAQ

What's the minimum GPU for a 1440p 240 Hz monitor?

For consistent 200+ fps at 1440p in CS2 and Valorant, an RTX 4070 is the practical minimum. In more demanding titles like Apex Legends at 1440p ultra, the RTX 4070 delivers 150–180 fps, meaning you'll use around 165 Hz of the panel's 240 Hz capability. An RTX 4070 Ti Super or above is needed to push 200+ fps at 1440p in demanding games.

Is 240 Hz noticeably better than 165 Hz for competitive gaming?

Yes, measurably — frame-to-display latency drops from ~6 ms at 165 Hz to ~4 ms at 240 Hz, and motion clarity improves further. The step from 144 Hz to 240 Hz is less dramatic than 60 Hz to 144 Hz but consistently detectable in blind tests. Competitive FPS players at a ranked level who already have a 165 Hz monitor benefit from upgrading.

Does Evetech stock 240 Hz monitors for delivery to Pretoria East?

Evetech ships to Pretoria East and surrounding Tshwane East areas with next-business-day courier on in-stock items. Check the live stock indicator on the product listing before placing your order as monitor stock changes quickly.

TIP

in-game frame rate counter and check your average fps before buying a 240 Hz monitor — if you're averaging below 180 fps in your main game, a 165 Hz panel is the better value; save the budget for a GPU upgrade first and then step up to 240 Hz.
