Why a 24-inch Monitor is the Pro's Choice 🎯

Ever wonder why professional esports athletes in games like Valorant or CS:GO almost exclusively use a 24-inch monitor? It comes down to simple human biology. This size is the optimal field of view for most people. You can see the entire screen—from the minimap to your health bar—without needing to physically move your head or dart your eyes around. This tiny advantage translates into milliseconds saved, which is often the difference between winning and losing a gunfight.

At a standard Full HD (1920x1080) resolution, a 24-inch gaming monitor also has excellent pixel density. This means images and text look sharp and crisp, making it easier to spot enemies at a distance. When you're looking for peak performance, this focused, clear view is exactly what you need from the best high-performance gaming monitors.

The Perfect Fit for Your Home Setup

Beyond the competitive arena, the 24-inch monitor is a master of practicality. Let's be honest, not everyone in SA has a massive desk. This size fits perfectly into home offices, student digs, or multi-monitor setups without dominating your space.

More importantly, it's where you find incredible value for your money. You can get a high-refresh-rate (144Hz or more) 24-inch monitor with a 1ms response time for a fraction of the cost of its larger counterparts. This means you don't have to compromise on the smooth, responsive gameplay that truly matters. It's the smartest choice for gamers who want top-tier specs without an eye-watering price tag in ZAR, and you'll find plenty of options in our wide selection of PC monitors.

Refresh Rate (Hz)

This is how many times your screen updates per second. The old standard was 60Hz, but for gaming, 144Hz is the new baseline. It provides a dramatically smoother and more responsive experience.

Response Time (ms)

This measures how quickly a pixel can change colour. A low response time (like 1ms) reduces motion blur and ghosting, keeping your view crystal clear during fast-paced action.

Panel Type

• IPS (In-Plane Switching): Best for vibrant, accurate colours and great viewing angles. Perfect for gamers who also do creative work.
• VA (Vertical Alignment): Offers the best contrast, with deep blacks and bright whites. A great middle-ground option.
• TN (Twisted Nematic): The fastest panel type, often with the lowest response times, but at the cost of colour accuracy and viewing angles. Ideal for pure competitive focus.

While most 24-inch displays are flat, some gamers prefer the slight wraparound effect offered by curved monitors for added immersion.

Beyond the 24-inch Standard 🖥️

Is a 24-inch monitor right for everyone? Not always. Your perfect screen depends on your primary use case.

If you're playing cinematic, single-player adventures like Cyberpunk 2077 or doing high-resolution video editing, the breathtaking detail of a larger 4K or 5K monitor might be a better fit. For the ultimate road warrior setup, pairing your gaming laptop with a portable monitor gives you a dual-screen advantage anywhere.

And don't forget to complete your battle station! The right VESA arm or screen cleaner can make all the difference, so be sure to check out our essential monitor accessories to perfect your setup.
