You may think that one computer monitor is much like any other but you would be wrong. Monitors come in different sizes, different styles with different abilities and uses. Enter this contest and you may discover just how great a monitor can be: the prize is a BenQ Zowie Gaming Monitor that is very light, and is designed to handle the faced paced demands of today’s video games. It’s perfect for the student heading back to school, or any home where the computer does more than just spreadsheets.

What makes a monitor great

We are long past the days where the computer monitor occupied a major portion of your computer desk, and was a pain to move because of its weight and awkwardness. Monitors in 2017 keep getting thinner, lighter and brighter so you can work and play without getting eye strain, move them without getting a hernia, and place them on almost any table or desk and they don’t get in the way.

The prize for this contest is a great example of what I’m talking about. The BenQ monitor has the features that anyone would covet in a monitor. The bonus comes if you are into video games, and especially eSports, since this monitor is designed to refresh very quickly so that your focus remains on the game, not on the flickering screen.

BenQ Zowie Console Gaming Monitor Features

We recently sent this monitor to independent blogger Chris Loblaw for an unbiased review. Read the full review yourself, but here are some features that he called out as especially useful:

  • easy setup: great for everyone who upgrades their monitor
  • light and portable: great for taking to eSports turnaments
  • fast refresh rate of 1ms is faster than most televisions
  • black eQualizer setting: allows you to enhance the blacks with dulling the whole scene
  • low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain
  • flicker free: flicker too can cause eye-strain
  • non-reflective frame: another feature meant to enhance the gaming experience

Right now you may be thinking, “how can I get one of these?” There are two ways: you can just go online and purchase one from Best Buy (that’s the easiest way); you can also enter this contest. Even you don’t need a new monitor yourself, you probably know a student who’ll be going back to school in the fall who would love to get a BenQ gaming monitor.

  1. The low blue light is the best feature for me because I spend many hours in front of screens so anything that can help reduces eye-strain is a major plus.

  2. I like that it’s easy to set up, it’s flicker free and the low blue light reducing eye strain is great too.

  5. Low blue light is probably my favourite. With the amount of time spent in front of a screen, it’s important to reduce eye strain as much as possible.

  8. I like that it has a great refresh rate for better image quality, which is important to me!

  11. The fast refresh rate on the BenQ Zowie monitor would be my favourite feature; nothing irritates me more than a slow response

  20. I like the low blue light. This feature minimises the effects on our sleep patterns (when we’re not gaming!).

  38. Low blue light reducing eye strain is my favourite as I spend most of my day in front of a monitor.

  41. Perhaps spending too much time in front of one, so the flicker free feature to reduce eye strain should help.

  44. The low blue light to reduce eye strain – the oldest gamers in the house are not as young as they used to be!

  46. For me it’s the black eQualizer, some of the games I play are dark and sometimes I’ll pump up the brightness to see better but it never looks right. If this feature helps with that then that would be great

  47. I like that’s it’s flicker free, it causes less eye-strain when you use it for a long time.

  50. All the features are interesting, but the one I prefer is the non-reflective frame; that should be a nice improvement over what I use now.
