I have learned from the many contests we have done in the past year, that there are thousands of Canadians looking for a great new monitor. Best Buy has an awesome selection, including a variety of models from Acer. Take a few moments to read this post and learn about the Acer Predator monitors, then enter to win one from Best Buy. You won’t be disappointed!

Acer Predator Monitors are designed for more than just gaming

I spend hours every day looking at a monitor for work. HOURS! You know what it’s like, I’m sure. Imagine, then if you also stare at a monitor for hours for gaming. Watching the action, vigilant for slight pixel changes to suggest an imminent threat, or a potential advantage, amid changing landscapes, bright flashes, and adrenaline surging movement. Gaming is really the ultimate test of a monitor’s ability to offer crisp blacks, vivid colours, brilliant contrast no matter how quickly or slowly the scene on the screen changes.

I sent out this Acer Predator to blogger Chris Loblaw for an honest review. He has reviewed many monitors, and he’s a gamer, and I know many of our readers value his opinion. There were many things about this monitor that Chris liked:

  • No flashing lights to distract from the image on the screen: some gaming monitors have bright LED lights around the bezel, but not this one.
  • Eye friendly features: blue light reduction and flicker free technology reduce eye strain (YAY!)
  • Effective packaging: I agree with Chris that too many manufacturers these days waste resources by putting more packaging around their product than was needed. Good for the environment and good for all of us.
  • Gaming specific features: fast refresh rate, G-sync technology and more to make even the most demanding game play without screen blurring or image lag.

There is more to his review, but that gives you a sense of how much thought Acer put into their monitor. Chris also points out that it’s a great deal for the price. Of course if you follow the instructions below and enter this contest you may just win the very same Acer Predator monitor that Chris tested.

HOW TO ENTER

Entering this contest is easy, but you can only enter once. You may not see your entry appear below immediately so be patient and don’t enter a second time—it will appear eventually. In a comment below you must tell us what you would like to use this monitor for: gaming, movies, business, school, etc. That’s it. If you want to add which feature of this monitor will best help you do that activity, that would be great too.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN

At the end of the contest, one winner will be selected from all eligible entries to win the Acer Predator monitor shown above, the same one that Chris Loblaw reviewed on the blog.

This contest will run from March 27th until April 9th.

Remember you can only one enter once. Do you know someone else who might want a new monitor? Tell them to enter too; sharing is always the right thing to do.

Good Luck!

  1. Would love to use it for my photography, I’m sure the eye friendly feature would help with eye strain!

  2. I would use it for gaming and for video chatting with family who I do not get to see every day because of the distance.

  3. The blue light reduction and flicker free technology would really help with eye strain when I spend my time writing every day!

  4. I would use the monitor for most of my computer needs. I would use it to run my craft machines and of course gaming

  5. I would use this monitor for productive gaming activities…
    Alas, isn’t technology great in that it changes every 6 months or so which leads to planned obsolescence… to make a long story short… my notebook does not have a graphics card to support ultra high definition gaming monitors… I guess it is time to upgrade my notebook or better yet purchase a brand new desktop that has the latest and greatest graphics card.

    Cheers!

  6. Gaming and entering great contests like this one! The eye friendly feature will help me keep on gaming longer!

  8. I haven’t built a computer in over a decade. Now that I have kids, I’d like to build one to play games and watch movies with them!

  9. I would be thrilled to use this monitor for gaming and also for school! I’ve got a great PC but my monitor is old and I would so appreciate the reduced eye strain and fast refresh.

  10. I’ll use it for everything. Viewing movies, work, games. If it cooks dinner, that’ll be great too!
