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. Probably low blue light, since I spend quite a lot of time on my computer and my eyes get tired!

  2. My favourite feature is the fast refresh rate. Anything that reduces blur during fast moving sequences is a big plus!

  3. My favourite feature is the black eQualizer setting which would create vivid video and less eye-strain.

  4. Obviously I’m falling head over heels for the portability. I can’t game unless I have my entire personal set-up on the go with me or whenever I visit my friends for a nice deathmatch on CS:Go!

  5. I need a telescope to see my current monitor and would like to win this BenQ Zowie Console Gaming Monitor

  6. The low blue light is my favorite feature of the BenQ gaming monitor because it reduces eye strain and I need a monitor that is easy on the eyes.

  7. low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain this is my favourite because I have horrible eyes and get extremely bad headaches so a less intense brightness would be awesome

  8. The 1ms refresh rate sounds wonderful, because the quickest I’ve ever had is an 8ms screen and gaming on it can get fatiguing.

  9. Low blue light and flicker free features. I get wicked eye strain and I’m a truck driver, so less strain on my eyes is definitely a good thing.

  10. The black eQualizer setting. Black colour sequencing seems to be a difficult for most monitors.

  11. Black eQualizer is the most exciting because far too many games have dark scenes that make everything hard to see

  12. I like the blue light feature especially being in front of a computer all day at work and the two HDMI Inputs

  13. My favourite feature is the easy set up; if I take it to a friend’s house, I don’t want to waste a lot of time getting it set up

  14. The black eQualizer setting seems the most interesting feature, because most of the other features are usually available on standard gaming monitors.

  15. My favorite feature is black eQualizer setting: allows you to enhance the blacks with dulling the whole scene

  16. I love that it has low blue light and is flicker-free which drastically reduces eye-strain. I hate when I’m trying to work or play on a computer through squinty, tearing eyes! Thanks so much for the chance!

  17. I like the 2 HDMI inputs and D-sub, DVI, VGA, line-in, and a headphone jacks.
    That’s more than what my TV has! Having a fast response time and Black eQualizer are selling points too!

  18. I like the low blue light feature because I spend a lot of time in front of the screen and my eyes often bother me

  19. My favourite feature is the low blue light to reduce I strain because I work on a computer all day and have found my eyes get very tired.

  20. My favourite feature is the low blue light to reduce I strain because I find when I’m on the computer for too long it affects my eyesight and gives me a headache.
