Worth it when the same screen also brings charging and a network port. On its own the jump from 60Hz to 100Hz is a comfort gain rather than a productivity leap. Bundled into a R6,099 hub monitor, it costs nothing extra.
A 100Hz business monitor rarely justifies its price on the refresh rate alone, and pricing it that way is how South African buyers end up thinking the upgrade is not worth it. The Dell Pro 24 Plus P2425DE makes a stronger case at R6,099 once everything else it includes is counted in.

Being honest about the standalone value of this one spec sets realistic expectations before adding everything else to the comparison.
On its own, moving from 60Hz to 100Hz smooths scrolling, dragging and pointer movement, which is a genuine comfort improvement over a full working day but not something that measurably speeds up how quickly a task gets done. If a monitor charged a meaningful premium purely for 100Hz over an otherwise identical 60Hz model, the case for paying extra would be a matter of personal comfort preference rather than a clear productivity argument either way.
The Dell Pro 24 Plus P2425DE does not charge separately for 100Hz; it arrives alongside 90W charging, an RJ45 port and USB hub functionality that would otherwise need a separate dock purchase.
Once 100Hz is one line item among several genuinely valuable features rather than the sole reason for the price, the question changes from "is 100Hz worth extra" to "does this whole package cost less than buying each piece separately." Priced that way, the answer is usually yes: a comparable QHD monitor plus a 90W dock with Ethernet, bought as two separate items, typically costs more in total than this single R6,099 unit covering both.
Local working patterns make the bundle more valuable here specifically, not just in general.
A household with several people drawing on the same fibre connection benefits from the RJ45 port's steadier wired link no matter what refresh rate the screen happens to run. A business laptop with no separate charger reserved for the office desk benefits from the built-in 90W charging regardless of the refresh rate too. Once those two features are already doing real work for a South African desk, 100Hz is effectively a bonus rather than something being paid for on its own, which is a different framing from a pure gaming monitor comparison where refresh rate is the main event.
On its own it is a comfort improvement rather than a strong productivity case. Bundled with charging and networking features at no extra cost, the overall value proposition is stronger.
For office applications, no. Standard integrated graphics on a business laptop handle 100Hz at QHD resolution without difficulty.
Yes, since the 90W charging, Ethernet port and QHD resolution stand on their own as reasons to buy it, independent of the refresh rate.
Head into Settings, System, Display, Advanced display, and check the dropdown genuinely reads 100Hz for this screen rather than having quietly reverted to 60Hz.
The clearest way to see the value is to compare this single purchase against sourcing each feature on its own.
Browse the office monitor range to see how many 100Hz panels also include 90W charging and Ethernet at a similar price, then check the monitor deals page and the best-selling monitors list to see what South African buyers are actually choosing at this price point. In most cases, a monitor bundling all three features costs noticeably less than buying a 100Hz-only screen and a separate dock to cover charging and networking afterwards.
