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.

  3. easy setup: great for everyone who upgrades their monitor Is great for me cause I always have difficulty setting up electronics

  5. The black eQualizer; so many monitors have promised deep blacks, but they don’t deliver that well.

    (I use f.lux for the blue light problem, personally 🙂 )

  6. It’s has to be the low blue light. With the amount that I’m in front of a computer, anything that reduces eye strain is welcome.

  9. I like the low blue light to reduce eye strain. Husband games too much, will help if he doesn’t go blind.

  16. Favourite feature: low blue light: drastically reduces eye-strain
    Reason: I spend a lot of time in front of monitors, so the reduced eye-strain is a life saver.

  19. low blue light to lower eye strain, as I don’t just use my computer for games, but movies and reading as well.

  20. I think that the best feature with this monitor is that it is all-rounded. Mainly the fact that is plight and portable gives it a better standard. The light features that reduce eye-strain or even prevent it gives it an dramatic advantage over a lot of other competing monitors put there!

  21. The black eQualizer setting, there’s nothing worse than not being able to see all the details in your game.

  26. I can’t stare at monitors without low blue light as they give me headaches. With the low blue light I can use my computer for hours at a time with ease.

  27. The fast refresh rate would be the most beneficial aspect of a gaming monitor. To be able to spot an enemy and have a split second faster reaction time can either let you win the game or lose the game. In moderate gaming periods, the refresh rate would give the most enjoyment out of the listed features.

  29. I spend many hours in front of computer, so the low blue light to reduce eye-strain would be perfect for me

  31. The refresh rate is amazing! Zowie is used by the CS:GO gods in the tournaments, I’d like to get a little bit closer to their performance. 🙂

  32. The low blue light feature to reduce eye strain is the most impressive feature in my opinion. Cheers!

  33. I spend hours on the computer so a low blue light is my favourite because it reduces eye strain.

  34. I like the low blue light. I stare at a screen all day and the reduction in eye strain would be great

  35. Aside with the fantastic gaming features, I like how the monitor is ENERGY STAR certified! Which keeps energy consumption low, thus benefiting you and most importantly the planet!

  41. If we’re to win this monitor, i would brag very much leaving all dignity aside. If I were to buy this monitor I would be ashamed and lie about the price. In short please, let me win this.

  44. Hate eye strain so the flicker free would be very important for me as I spend a lot of time at the computer

  45. Our son has Irlens Syndrome and loves gaming. I would love to win this for him because it’s so flicker free and has the low blue light. Thanks for the opportunity!

  46. I love the flicker free and the low blue light. My eyes can’t handle the strain anymore.

  50. I love the feature fast refresh rate of 1ms which is way faster than most televisions
