Your monitor is not damaged.

Strobe Utility is unable to damage your monitor. Something else is currently lagging your monitor. (e.g. drivers, Windows, changed settings, multimonitor, etc)

The most common cause: Multimonitor

If there's a latency change issue, one common issue is multimonitor.
Like keeping your 60Hz monitor when using your 240Hz.

(1) Use single monitor mode
(2) Do not use two monitors simultaneously (with a 60Hz monitor)
(3) Do not use mixed Hertz. Your lag of a mixed Hz system (240Hz+60Hz) can sometimes slow down to the lower Hz -- due to the way Windows compositing works

TL;DR: Unplug your 60Hz display and use single-display whenever you're playing eSports games
