You need to connect your laptop with a DisplayPort or DVI cable to run the monitor at 144hz.

No, you need to return the monitor and get one that supports 144 Hz over HDMI like the ViewSonic XG2401. It is not possible to connect to the XL2411Z at more than 60 Hz without a DVI or DP port on the computer.
