I'm sure similar threads have been made, but I figured I'd go ahead and ask the community which of these monitors I should buy. If anyone would like to suggest a monitor that I don't have listed then that would be fine, too!
BenQ XL2420T - Supposedly these are the monitors that were used at the ESEA LAN? In that case, I'd imagine that this has to be a pretty good monitor.

ASUS VG248QE - This is the cheaper of the three, so I am probably most interested in this one. But I also am wondering why this one would be cheaper, even though it has a 144hz refresh rate vs. the others have 120hz.

I don't know a whole lot about monitors, and this is my first 120hz monitor purchase so I would like to get the best for the price! Thanks in advance for the help!

asus 144 is the best, the colors were ok out of the box but with some google searching and fiddling around it was fine.

Is there a noticeable difference between the ASUS and the benQ used at LAN? (I'm assuming you've used both)

hookyASUS one will probably either have horrible colors in Lightboost or outside of Lightboost. If you're coming from a 60/75 Hz LCD, then it shouldn't matter if you use Lightboost or not.
stop spreading this misinformation. all tn panels have trash color. once you adjust the colors it will be just as good, if not better than as any other tn panel.

Yeah, you're right. I was just saying this because I remembered people complaining about the colors, and Lightboost's colors on mine are horrible by default.
So I should turn on Lightboost and adjust the colors? Will that make my monitor the best it can be? Asking this because last time I tried Lightboost everything was purpleish.

ctrl+f, search for icc profile and follow the instructions listed in that section. that will make the colours look decent enough.

Alright guys thanks for the help! I will probably go with the ASUS since nobody even mentioned any of the other monitors.

asus 144 hz. Had it for 3+ months now and its incredible.
Needs minor color adjustment out of the box but after that its incredibly smooth sailing.

Go with a "Lightboost"-capable monitor. It also works with ATI videocards now. o/
I bought a BenQ XL2411T which is pretty much the same monitor like the 144hz Asus and its sick!
Check lightboost out!
And here is the tool if you have an ATI card:
So +1 for your Asus :)
