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!

  6. I wouldn’t be watching movies, Netflix or gaming on this monitor. What I would be using this for is to replace my current 14″ screen which would help me to see the screen better as my eyesight has been declining.

  12. I would use it on personal time for gaming and movie watching but I’d also take it up to my home office for use on work at home days. The monitors provided by my work place are a) hard on the eyes and b) have a poor refresh rate. The thing that appeals to me the most about this monitor, is definitely the blue light reduction and flicker free technology to reduce eye strain as well as the refresh rate. Thank you.

  18. I would like to use this gaming monitor for gaming, watching movies and TV and work… It would be a real boon and update for my system. Thanks!

  25. I would use the monitor for everyday internet activities like checking my email, social media, etc. I am most excited for the blue light reduction and flicker free technology to reduce eye strain. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!

  32. I would use this monitor for movies. surely great picture and sounds, also for small business hopefully.

  36. I would love to win this monitor for gaming with friends and watching TV! The fast refresh rate and gsync technology are what I’m looking forward to experiencing.

  39. i would give this to my motherfor her desk top she has been running an old tube monitor for years now

  40. I would love to use this for gaming and watching movies! Also, this would help my boyfriend with his new tech start-up business. The fast refresh rate will be key! Thank you for the opportunity.

  44. I would use my Acer Predator XB0 Gaming Monitor for… gaming (and watching movies too)! I’d also use it to zoom-in to edit my t-shirt designs.

    Definitely like that is has the Bluelight Shield… getting eye strain from using this laptop since my desktop monitor is basically dead (it turns on ~once a week).

    Thanks!

  45. I would give it to my son. He does the video gaming and it is tough to connect with him. I think this would be a cool way to do that.

  47. i WOULD USE IT for any and all activities that I have to do on my computer, editing, photo, movies, programming.

  49. I would use it for school. Its good because its a decent sized screen and would take one more stress off the table
