most cheaper monitors with 120hz (lcd) have terrible input lag - so i'd say the extra 50-100 dollars is def worth it. i got my benq for $320 onsale on boxing day.

benq is a more boutique brand while asus is more mass producy. the asus also came out quite a bit after the benq which uses the same panel and it lacks some features that the benq has installed.

If you mean asus as in their discontinued 120hz monitors, they were basically XL2420T with colors that aren't complete shit (only due to poor factory calibration). BenQ's are more mass produced though, but they also have more features. But those were the old monitors.

The 2 best monitors to get right now is Asus VG248QE, and BenQ XL2411T. Both of them has height adjust, can be flipped to portrait mode, etc. I'd get the Asus because it has this new feature that allows to you enable a custom crosshair overlay. BenQ has black equalizer though, which I personally find useless.

They both use the same panel, offers 144hz, and has lightboost. Both will retail for $300. The BenQ is being advertised as 120hz mainly because it's already a more established standard, but it is in-fact 144hz capable.

I've owned an ASUS VG236HE for just over a year (purchased for $329 on Newegg), and it is by far the best non-IPS LCD monitor I have used. Mine appears to be discontinued since it's an older model with CCFL backlighting that consumes a ton of energy, but I'm pleased with the nice, smooth colors and response time. It's nice to see even better models being released and with new features like Lightboost that can reduce motion blur.
