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. This monitor will be great for my studying during my pregnancy and my workouts that will best come in use to me and my family!

  2. I game a lot and love that this baby has blue light reduction and flicker free technology to reduce eye strain . Now that is a game changer.

  3. I want to win this for my grandson for his games . He says the fast refresh rate. ?? No clue but there it is

  4. WOULD LOVE IT FOR MY GRANDSON SO HE COULD USE IT FOR WATCHING CARTOONS AND WHEN HE GOES TO SCHOOL.

  5. I would love to use this monitor for everything. Surfing the net, gaming, movies, business and anything else I do on the computer.

  6. While I would love to get back into gaming, I don’t often have the time or PC power for it now-a-days.
    But I am a developer and would get a ton of use out of this nice monitor upgrade. It would also see a lot of Netflix usage for breaks from late night coding sessions. 🙂

  7. I’d use this for working and for composing music. I’d be able to see data more clearly than I can right now.

  8. I honestly would use to this to mostly read so the blue light and flicker reduction would be my most desired feature. I would probably play a little Half-Life 2 as well though…

  9. I would use this for surfing the internet, and would like to watch some movies and video on it.

  10. I work from home on my computer, and have to stare at a lot of small, ever-changing numbers all the time. This monitor would make that data look bigger,clearer, and easier to see.

  11. I would probably use this monitor as a gift for my dad. He doesn’t currently own a TV, and he would love to be able to watch youtube videos in the living room

  12. The 24″ Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution would be ideal for ultimate movie/tv viewing & gaming experience.

  13. At the moment, I don’t have a computer set up…only a laptop, so this monitor would be a great way to start putting together a desktop computer for the den!! Love the blue light reduction feature!!

  14. I would give it to my son so he doesn’t have to game on the old hand me down monitor he is using today

  15. I would absolutely use this for gaming because love playing video games and I would also watch Netflix on it because I am a huge movie fan.
