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 fast refresh rate of 1ms will improve every game you play, it’s brilliant and I’d love having that on my monitor. 🙂

  2. ‘low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain’ is my favourite feature as I spend a lot of time at the PC

  3. I like the low blue light function. I spend quite a bit of time in front of monitors and this would greatly reduce eyestrain.

  15. The fast refresh rate of 1ms is my favourite feature as I like to keep one step ahead of the competition at all times 🙂

  18. Definitely that it is flicker free – the amount of time I spend on my computer, anything that helps reduce eye strain is definitely a plus!

  19. The fast refresh rate of 1ms feature is the most important to me,because I don`t like slow things! Fast is better!

  20. I love the 1ms response time to reduce motion blur and ghosting. Great for fraggin’ enemies (but mostly for fraggin’ friends)!

  26. My boyfriend is super into gaming but plays on possibly the worst monitor ever! This BenQ Zowie Gaming Monitor looks unreal with its fast refresh rate of 1ms. I’m not even sure our television would be able to compete with this! It looks amazing! Maybe I’d get more into gaming with this monitor 😉 Would love to try.

  38. The best feature I think is the fast refresh rate of 1ms which is faster than most televisions.

  39. the brand and the eye strain feature. I am using a tv as my monitor at the moment and let me tell you, my eye strain levels are off the charts! 🙁

  42. My favourite feature is the low blue light. Eye strain is serious business and anything that reduces it, is definitely a positive!
