The article has these headings.
- 960 Pixels/Sec Is Closest Number To 1000 Divisible By 60, 120 and 240 Hz
- 960 Pixels/Sec Is Faster Than Than Outdated TV Benchmarks
- 960 Pixels/Sec Is More Representative Of Fast Video Game Motion Speeds
- 960 Pixels/Sec Is Not Too Fast To Eye-Track
- 960 Pixels/Sec Is Easy To Double And Quadruple
- Our UFO Trademark Is A Deliberate Test Pattern Easter Egg!
- 960 Pixels/Sec Bridges Popular Science & Advanced Research
- Conclusion: 960 Pixels/Sec is a Universal Display Motion Test Speed

Now go read if you've ever wondered why 960 pixels/second was selected as a universal display motion test speed seven years ago!

I found myself 1920 pixels per seconds is better value for 240hz monitors in default (not strobed) mode.

Yep, 1920 is mentioned in the article too!

It's an advantage that 960 multiples to 1920 (double) and 3840 (quadruple) -- the 1920 value is the nearest number to 2000 that is divisible by many refresh rate numbers such as 60, 120, 240, and 480.

1920 pixels/sec is one screen width per second on 1080p, and one screen width in 2 seconds on 4K displays.
