Does BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P support 144hz on my laptop?

[effable]

Hi! I have asus gl553ve and i ordered
BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P

i also bought 3 cables like usbc to display port
minidisplayport to display port
hdmi to dvi cable

can any of these get 144hz with that monitor on my laptop?

Your laptop only has hdmi out. There's no mention in manual if usbc provides video.

That monitor will only accept Dvi DL or Displayport for 144Hz.

Hdmi to Dvi passive adapters are single link only and wont give you 144Hz. An active Hdmi to Dual Link Dvi would be required but i haven't seen one, not sure they exist.

Think it would be best return that monitor for another known to run 144Hz via Hdmi. See section 7.

someone told me that it would support...
if i get a usbc > displayport or something

Some laptops do. I had a look at your manual and there's no mention of it so it might not. Can only try.

apparently mini display port > display port works with my laptop according to the asus rog forums.
is minidisplayport like usb c:??

Well if people at Asus forums says it works then you should be ok.

Usbc has multiple purposes + being capable of transmitting video depending on laptop. Because Usbc is multi purpose, it's not always optioned for video. It's different to mini Displayport but they are compatible. Mini Displayport is the same as normal Displayport with just a smaller end and this connection is for video only. If your laptop allows video via usbc then it should work at 144Hz.
