LG 24GM77 Gaming Monitor has Strobe Backlight
LG will release the 24GM77 gaming monitor which comes with a strobe backlight - Motion 240 (120Hz + strobing). You could call this a a “lightboost” clone. The 24GM77 is designed specifically for gaming, and features a fast 144Hz refresh rate from its TN Film panel.
LG’s Dynamic Action Sync (DAS) Mode decreases input lag. it also has a Black Stabilizer for consistent blacks across different scenes and Game Mode, which offers three optimized settings that can be applied quickly by pressing a hotkey on the monitor, with the option to create customized presets.
And a new "Motion 240" mode, developed exclusively for the Gaming Monitor, helps minimize motion blur with a fast response time of less than 1ms. This mode has been confirmed as a strobe backlight system, much like the "Turbo 240" mode from the Eizo Foris FG2421.

Wouldn't it just create flicker, something which they are typically trying to get away from? It's flicker that's not really visible, but still causes eye strain over long viewing periods.
The difference with this type of flicker and the PWM flicker (for backlight brightness) is that this is synced to the refresh rate of the monitor. At least, that's how it appears.
Yes, it's a 120Hz flicker, but it's not that bad. CRTs were fine with 100Hz flicker.
Also, 1ms response is total bs, as so-called 240Hz mode basically means that the around 1st half of each 120Hz cycle is blank, effectively adding minimal lag. You will hardly notice it, but it just proves the point.

I stopped reading when I saw it was just another TN panel monitor.

Can we stop with these comments? There is only one high refreshrate VA monitor and no official high refresh rates ips monitors..

Why? Who need another 144Hz TN screen? The point is that many don't want this **** but fast VA or IPS screens instead.
