This is a list of the top five monitors for 1440p gaming in South Africa.<\/p>\n

A 1440p monitor is a perfect choice for gamers with a decent setup who are looking to upgrade their visuals for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

Although you can certainly buy a cheaper 1080p monitor or max out on an expensive but stunning 4K display, a 1440p monitor is a great middle point.<\/p>\n

While a 1440p has a low enough resolution that decent performance is achievable without a very expensive gaming computer, it also has a high enough resolution to allow you to see the finer details in your favourite games.<\/p>\n

The monitors on this list were chosen based on price and what they have to offer.<\/p>\n

LG UltraGear gaming monitor \u2014 R4,999<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The LG UltraGear gaming monitor is the perfect option for those gamers who aren\u2019t too concerned with competitive FPS games but rather enjoy visually appealing titles such as Ghostwire: Tokyo<\/em> and Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This 27-inch 1440p display has a borderless design and includes AMD FreeSync at an attractive price \u2014 but there\u2019s a compromise as it only offers a 75Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n
