High refresh rate monitors are built for those looking for a silky-smooth gaming experience and quick response times.<\/p>\n

Refresh rate refers to the number of times a display image is refreshed per second on your monitor and is measured in Hz.<\/p>\n

A higher refresh rate ensures that images appear smoother, as it allows more information to reach your eyes in the same period of time.<\/p>\n

Those who consider themselves competitive gamers and are used to playing on a monitor with a refresh rate of between 60-120Hz will feel a big difference in performance between these monitors.<\/p>\n

High refresh-rate monitors are not only great for gaming, however, as they can improve your overall system latency, and may provide a competitive edge over your competition.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best high refresh-rate monitors on the South African market.<\/p>\n

Top monitors<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an upgrade that offers a good balance between reduced latency and image quality, then the Dell S2721DGFA<\/strong> 27-inch monitor is a good option.<\/p>\n

This monitor gives you the benefit of a 165Hz refresh rate while providing a good quality 1440p resolution \u2014 great for a gamer who loves playing a variety of genres.<\/p>\n

1440p is the best all-around resolution for gaming as it offers a price-to-value sweet spot between basic 1080p gaming and ultra-sharp but expensive 4K.<\/p>\n

This 1440p quality grants you the benefit of quality imaging for titles like Horizon Forbidden West and a high refresh rate for fast response times needed in FPS games.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re a true FPS competitor, then you should be looking at the Acer Predator XB273GX<\/strong> 27-inch monitor.<\/p>\n

This screen offers you a smooth refresh rate of 240Hz and a full HD 1080p panel at a reasonable price \u2014 making it the ideal option for most hardcore FPS gamers.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9<\/strong> 49-inch curved monitor, on the other hand, is the ultimate all-rounder for gamers that have the money and hardware to match.<\/p>\n

This ultra-wide beast offers a refresh rate of 240Hz in a crisp 4K resolution \u2014 giving you the best image quality and optimal system latency.<\/p>\n

It also has a mini-LED panel which means targeted and precise lighting control, less backlight bleed, and stronger contrasts.<\/p>\n

However, the only drawback is the fact that not all games will support such a widescreen.<\/p>\n

For serious semi-pro and pro-gamers looking for the smoothest gaming experience possible, with uncompromised latency, then the AOC AGON Pro AG254FG<\/strong> 25-inch monitor is the one to go for.<\/p>\n

While you compromise image quality for a relatively high price tag, this monitor offers 360Hz, the highest refresh rate on the market \u2014 giving you the highest in-game response time to hit moving targets, as every millisecond counts.<\/p>\n

These monitors and their respective specifications are given below.<\/p>\n
