Why a 200Hz Monitor is Your New Secret Weapon
For years, 144Hz was the gold standard for competitive gaming. It was a massive leap from the old 60Hz panels most of us started on. But technology moves fast. A 200Hz monitor like the Dell SE2425HG pushes the boundary even further, refreshing the image on your screen 200 times every second.
What does this mean for you?
- Smoother Motion: Opponents moving across your screen appear less blurry, making them easier to track and target.
- Lower Input Lag: The time between your mouse click and the action appearing on-screen is reduced. It’s a millisecond advantage that adds up.
- Clearer Visuals: Fast-paced action in games like CS:GO feels incredibly responsive and clear, helping you process information faster.
This Dell model brings that elite performance to a price point that makes sense for many South African gamers looking to upgrade their PC monitors. 🚀

Dell SE2425HG: Performance Where It Counts
Dell didn't just cram a fast panel into this display; they built a solid foundation around it. The SE2425HG is a 23.8-inch Full HD (1920x1080) monitor, which is the sweet spot for competitive gaming. This resolution isn't as demanding as premium 4K monitors, meaning your graphics card can more easily push the high frame rates needed to take full advantage of that 200Hz refresh rate.
Key features include:
- 1ms GtG Response Time: Minimises ghosting and motion blur.
- Fast VA Panel: Offers excellent contrast for deep blacks and vibrant colours.
- AMD FreeSync Premium: Prevents screen tearing for a smooth, stutter-free experience.
- ComfortView Plus: Reduces harmful blue light emissions without sacrificing colour accuracy, perfect for those long gaming sessions.
While some gamers might prefer the immersion of curved monitors, the flat panel of the SE2425HG is ideal for esports, ensuring no geometric distortion when you’re lining up that perfect shot.
