Which one of these monitors would be better?
The asus one appears to be 3D however I'm not really sure whether I'd use this feature or not. I will not be needing 3D when gaming.

Thanks,
Dan.

I would trust the BenQ to be a more capable gaming monitor than the Asus one. But both are decent monitors that delivers what's expected of a gaming monitor. But BenQ has more experience with gaming monitors so I'd pick the BenQ one over any other monitor if the price is okay with you.

Both are as experienced as they can.
ΒenQ is better because this specific Asus uses PWM dimming, however the best is LG 24GM77 because it has the best color presets and contrast.

The 3d is kind of irrelevant mate IMO - you need an nvidia card + a 3d vision kit + glasses (£100 odd extra) to make use of it.

Saying that I still think the Asus is the better panel personally.

The LG contrast ratio is so much lower than what is delivered by both the Asus and BenQ monitor.

I made a similar decision awhile ago and I went with the Asus and have been very happy with it. I thought it looked better and it cost less.

The LG has much better image quality without lacking in any other area.

That may be true, but users have complained that the LG has a poorer blur reduction and a brighter than bright display where users complained that it was too hard to get use to. Other than that, the LG does have a crispier display than the BenQ monitor. It all depends on the OP at this point. Damn didn't even know there was a gaming monitor by LG. Always thought they catered to the design side.

Yes, LG does not usually make gaming monitors, but this one is a good one. The fact that its back-light strobbing reduces brightness just a little bit is a good thing, it means that you can always leave brightness at low value, which is easier on the eyes, without having to adjust it every time you enable Motion 240.

Check the review of Tom's Hardware too, it also praises its effective blur reduction and comments on its really decent colors for a TN monitor.

Yea. I did some poking around. Pretty decent reviews. Just that some people feel that the brightness of the monitor even at low value was still too bright. But from what I see, it's pretty decent from a company that doesn't specialise in gaming. And it's cheaper. For that, I'd have to change my recommendation to this model as well Thanks for the introduction on this.
