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.

  2. The low blue light is a great feature. As a mom with two teenagers who enjoy gaming this gives me peace of mind.

  3. non-reflective frame: another feature meant to enhance the gaming experience

    I like that feature because that is one of my main problems and annoyances when I am trying to game on my computer.

  7. I love the low blue light which helps to reduce eye-strain (important in this day and age of technology

  9. I like the low blue light feature. I find my current monitor hurts my eyes very much! I think it would be a huge benefit and help to me.
    Thanks!

  10. I like that it is light and portable, I can take it anywhere within my home and even out where my friends and family can use its wonderful clarity.

  16. Anything that reduces eye strain is a good thing, so the flicker free and low blue light are a big thumbs up for me. Thanks for the review and of course the giveaway!

  18. Flicker free would be my favourite. I work on a computer all day and get headaches easily. This is the best feature so I can play with no more pain!!!

  21. I am a student, and my favourite feature of this monitor is that its light and portable. I am a gamer, and the problem is that i shift between my parents house in the suburbs and my residence at university, so i always have to leave my current old heavy monitor at my parents house and i just game on my laptop, which is just terrible.

  23. Low blue light is my favorite feature as I am at the computer a lot and not having my eyes tired out is a welcomed feature.

  24. I have to say my favorite feature is the black eQualizer setting – I play a lot of horror and/or atmospheric games so having a monitor that enhances black is definitely a plus.

  26. The easy set up would be best for me because I am not confident about doing that, but I know that my kids that will use this BenQ Zowie with love that it has fast refresh to make games better to play.

  30. flicker free: flicker too can cause eye-strain. With my current set up, some times I just feel I need to stop. Hopefully, this will let me play longer.

  32. The low blue light is my favorite feature because my eyes really suffer with traditional monitors.

  33. Anything that helps eye strain and easy setup sounds great. Gaming stuff is always low on the list, winning wpuld be great!

  37. The low blue light is my favourite feature; I spend a lot of time on my computer and staring at the monitor due to work and my consulting operations. My eyes take a real beating, so that would be super-beneficial to me. Thanks!
