Hi everyone. I'm getting my first 144Hz monitor soon and I can't decide between those two. In my country the XL2411Z is 50 Euro cheaper than the ASUS and I don't see many differences in their specifications. Is BenQ's Blur Reduction better than Lightboost? Can I use Lightboost with a Radeon card? I read there is a third party software approved by BenQ that can be used with the BenQ Z series. I mainly play CS:GO. Here's the rest of my rig:

Turbo-X Cerberus V Midi Tower
Gigabyte Z87-HD3
Intel Core i5 4670k
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X OC 3GB GDDR5
Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD
Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD-RW
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX850 V2
Cooler Master 120mm Blue LED Fan
Aerocool Shark Blue Edition 120mm LED Fan
Aerocool Shark Blue Edition 140mm LED Fan
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
LG 24EA53 24" 1080p 5ms IPS Panel
Turbo-X Gk1 Gaming Keyboard
SteelSeries Rival
SteelSeries QcK+
Natec Genesis HX55 Virtual 5.1 Gaming Headset

Does my card have a Dual Link DVI slot? I'm currently using HDMI and I'm aware you can't have 144Hz refresh rate with HDMI. Any incompatibility issues with a part of my PC? Also, how different is it playing at 144Hz versus 60Hz? Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Think w/ that price difference I'd go the BenQ, in the States it's only about $15 and I'd go Asus, but the BenQ would be a strong 2nd choice - these are my favorite brands and what I look to first
