ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 suits competitive players who want the smoothest listed refresh rate without jumping to a much higher spend. For this use case, a gaming monitor only becomes worth the extra money if your PC can push enough frames and you actually notice faster target tracking in Call of Duty.
240Hz is worth it when the frame rate is there
The ViewSonic VX2779A 240Hz at R2,350 is the obvious value pick here because it gives you the highest listed refresh rate for less than the MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 and the AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200. If your system is already producing high frame rates, 240Hz can make quick turns, recoil control, and close-range tracking feel more immediate.
The MSI MAG 274F 200Hz at R3,006 is still a strong middle choice if you want a fast panel but do not need the absolute highest refresh rate in this list. The Dahua LM25 200Hz at R1,850 is even tighter on price, making 200Hz appealing for a secondary setup or a budget-conscious upgrade from a basic screen.
