120Hz Monitors – Motion Blur Eliminating

Includes: LightBoost, ULMB (G-SYNC), EIZO Turbo 240, BENQ Blur Reduction
These monitors eliminate motion blur using an optional strobe backlight mode such as LightBoost. For more info, see TFTCentral: Motion Blur Reduction Backlights for explanations. Low-persistence strobe backlights allows LCD to have CRT motion clarity.
