BenQ XL2411Z Config

Hello Everyone.
I'm new to this gaming in 120hz and 144hz scene,but I'm thinking about buying the BenQ XL2411Z since it's a very afordable for me and I've heard that's better for input lag than it's ASUS competitor.
Anyway I came here to ask for a config that minimizes input lag,( I'm an entry frager in CS GO,and since blur doesn't botter me much so I think it's better to reduce input lag above all),I've already saw some VT tweaks with 120hz that seems to have lower input lag better than 144hz,is that true(or is it response time)?Also what's better BlackEqualizer(FPS1) or Gamma control(Standart )?Is better blur reduction on or off(in terms of balence input lag and blur,even though I still want to remain with less input lag than blur)
I also when I was searching for configs and things about the monitor I came across some terms like single strobe,crosstalk...but the problem is that I don't understand any of what this mean,I mean I'm a bit tech savy but I guess I need to "level up" before I can understand this "crazy talk" so if you can also send me some links to explain all of this,besides helping with my (future) monitor,I would also be very gratefull.
If you're also wondering if my build is capable of 144fps,here you go:
Intel Pentium K Anniversary Edition G3258 4.2GHz
Gráfica MSI GTX760 2GB
Logitech G400s
Random Keyboard(Planing on upgrade soon focusing on PC first :))
Thanks in advance

P.S:Sorry if made any spell mistakes while typing,english isn't my first language and I'm still mastering it :D,sorry for horrible structure of this post and finaly sorry for posting a "re-post" for the 100000000 time,but I would really appreciate help.
-Regards KolCat

Minimize input lag?
There's no special monitor based "config" you can use to minimize input lag, that isn't already preset. Everything is going to be determined by your video card settings and in game settings, as long as you are NOT using Vsync. Having a mouse that polls at 1000hz is also nice.

Instant mode is enabled by default, and you only disable that to improve some image processing (this adds input lag, so keep it enabled always).

And besides that, you play at 120-144 hz with vertical sync off.
Then you won't have any input lag at all.

Enabling blur reduction at 120-144 hz with vertical sync off, adds like 1 frame of input lag. No one is going to detect that. At 60 hz, sure. But not up there.

Fun fact:
If you have a mouse that polls at 1000 hz and you don't mind vsync, and you can keep 120 fps at all times without dropping, you can improve image quality even more by making a custom refresh rate of 125hz. 125 divides into 1000 by an even number of 8, which will give you the best image quality.

So the VT tweaks only improves response time,even though the input lag is same is that it?Also in your opinion is the blur reduction worth it?If yes, should I just tweak my monitor to have the best response time and activate motion blur?So with this mouse(it does have 1000hz polling rate) if I aply the 125hz tweak should there be minimal ghosting and inverse ghosting and would that be better than the 144hz/tweak with best response time?

Btw I'm not really worried about image quality even though I'm going to play on 1080p I've played on 768p for while so even if the quality of the image is a bit lower I wouldn't notice.

Sorry for so many questions.
Edit:Almost forgot and thank you for the help :).
Edit2:Just saw this http://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=722 so turns out the ASUS seems better for less crosstalk but it costs more 50euro in my country and it's less colourful so is it really the worth it?
