Does Overdrive and ULMB add Input Lag?

Ask about motion blur reduction in gaming monitors. Includes ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur), NVIDIA LightBoost, ASUS ELMB, BenQ/Zowie DyAc, Turbo240, ToastyX Strobelight, etc.

We will have to wait and see what the launch is. The story is probably more complex.
-- They had 1440p but switched to 1080p; or
-- They have 1080p with ability to downscale 1440p->1080p; or
-- They have 1440p hardware and there's "left hand vs right hand" confusion because 240Hz only works at 1080p.
More evidence for #2, I would say - as suspected. The updated specs (https://www.aocgaming.com/en/products/ag251fg) mention the 1440p resolution only in the fine print (aka details) and only as "max. resolution" (i.e., not "typical"). Moreover, the specified display area and pixel pitch are consistent with 1080p, so it appears to be "just" like the AG251FZ but with G-Sync (plus the downscaling capabilities at lower refresh rates).
