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 and low flicker rate sound the best to me since I already struggle with eye strain!

  7. I love the size, it would be perfect for my sons and daughters room. Recently they both have gotten into gaming and this would be a wonderful treat for them!

  8. The low blue light! I have 20/20 vision, but my eye blood pressure sky rockets to the point of hospitalization. Basically, my eyes strain extremely easily and it hinders my ability to enjoy my games as much as I’d like to. I would LOVE to replace my current monitor with this one.

  11. My favorite features are fast refresh rate of 1ms is faster than most televisions because I don’t want to feel like I am lagging by missing on new graphic when I am playing the game.
    low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain
    flicker free: flicker too can cause eye-strain spending hours in front of the screen does hurt my eyes this will be great and allow me to play longer with less eye strain.

  12. “low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain”
    This would be great on my wife’s work station. She works from her computer and spends hours every day in front of her monitor. Anything to make work easier and cause mess strain is good, in my books.

  13. low blue light – my favorite because I am visually impaired and my eyes hurt if I try too hard to focus on things for too long.

  14. I am most excited about the low blue light feature! I am a very experienced hardcore girl gamer and LOVE to binge play my favorite video games and most of the time that can be really strenuous for your eyes and also causes me headaches! If I got the chance to win this amazing gaming monitor I would never ever have to deal with headaches and eye strain again! Woohoo! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Fingers are crossed! 🙂

  17. It’s an all over nice screen! For the eyes, for vivid color, fast refresh, just an awesome, well built monitor! Thank you for the opportunity!

  19. The refresh rate is stellar! Currently my monitors (Also BenQ) are the bottleneck as they are about 8 years old now. Some screen tearing I wouldn’t like to have anymore.

  20. flicker free: flicker too can cause eye-strain ( BECAUSE my husband suffers from epilepsy so i think you can image how helpful this is for our life )

  22. Oh yes I am entering
    My current monitor is having issues and this would make an incredible replacement!!

  25. low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain
    flicker free: flicker too can cause eye-strain

    love that its better for the eyes as we spend so much time facing screenings now

  26. I like anything that will reduce eye strain, so I really llike the low blue light feature as well as the flicker free feature

  34. •low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain – I definitely find my eyes are strained after too long at the computer

  35. There are several things about this monitor that I would like but the 2 main ones would be low blue light & flicker free which helps reduce eye strain….

  40. Bought my son the monitor for Christmas and he loves it. The low blue light is great as it reduces eye strain and headaches. It was really easy to set up.

  44. Blue light filter on my phone makes a huge difference; would love to have that on a monitor, as well!

  45. I wish the monitor is thin enough that can be portable; roll it and un-roll it; use it as desired. thin enough to place on the wall without sitting on the table; future of monitoring.
