Did I purchase the wrong 120hz!

Basically, I was shopping for 120hz monitors, and I basically ended up choosing the BenQ XL2420T from newegg.ca since I'm Canadian. I was looking at newegg.com previously and quickly cross checked to make sure the BenQ XL2420T was the same product name on both websites which it was. Anyways, after looking at bit more I noticed how there was a price difference of $469.99 regular on the US newegg site to $369.99regular on the Canadian newegg site. Also, when checking the inputs on the US model they are D-sub / DVI-DL(Dual Link) / HDMI x 2 / DP 1.2 / Headphone Jack for the US site and on the canadian website D-Sub, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort. I'm just wondering if there is a difference between these two products/whether or not they just failed at labeling the product as well as the US site. I'd appreciate some help if possible since I hope I didn't throw 400 out the window to play 120hz on the smallest resolution ever. Anyways here are both products! Thanks, BBonkers

One has features with the gamer in mind, the other is a standard screen that has the consumer demographic of somebody who is making a home theatre or something; not a model that has all sorts of funky doodads meant for basement dewllers. They're both 120hz if that's what you're concerned about.

thanks techdude :) I posted on 120hz.net and also found out. I just don't get why they would make such a price difference that's all.
