No I had an XG2431 was used for 60 FPS fighting games, Street Fighter, Dark Souls etc
For fighting games? how is this useful to have strobing for fighting games ? i can play at these games without strobing and i don't see any blur on this kind of games (even if tbh i don't like this type of games lol) and i absolutely CANNOT managed strobing at low hertz, simply because i can literally see strobing with naked eyes, mostly at 60hz, remains me of CRT, horrible.
I personally prefer brute force technique of OLED or simply higher the hertz.
Motion Blur Reduction is more useful for games with a lot of movement where you didn't understand what is happening, this is absolutly great for Apex Legends or Overwatch for example, game with a lot of clutter and lot of very fast movement.

I personally would never play FPS games with strobing because it looks choppy where as non strobing and addition of blur actually helps smoothen the image
You didn't have that things with ELMB-SYNC, anyway on a stable machine with 240FPS full lock without any drop, i don't have any hard jidder feeling or anything like that, in a scenario when we take a person that have G-Sync+V-sync VS another person which have Sync stuff disabled but strobing like DyAc2, the person which have strobing have the advantage, less input lag, less ghosting and strobing can be bad if you have a lot of crosstalk, at max refresh rate, the XL2546X is pratically perfect for my eyes but it is not perfect because it can't be use with Blur Busters Utility.

Anybody who is truly honest would agree strobing becomes pretty useless at very high refresh rates / high FPS, law of diminishing return.
It however makes a gigantic difference at 60 HZ and slow paced games like street fighter because the refresh rate is so low therefore pixel transition is so slow and the game is so slow paced that you can see how awful the character body and faces becomes a blurry mess because you have time to notice it.
I have to totally disagree, on a LCD, mostly IPS/VA, obviously at low hertz strobing become "obligatory" for some use and it's comfortable for motion perception but i disagree with the
"240hz without strobing is not necessary, it's fine like that" that's simply assuming that you didn't play at games at very high refresh rate that need that smoothness and less motion blur, i mean, it's an added comfort, it's by playing in comfort that you will play better and enjoy it better.
In fact, let's rephrase, 60hz/120hz needs strobing more than...360hz for example, yes, no one will say the opposite but you don't have a perfect image even at 360hz, it depends on what you're looking for and the degree of requirements that you have/games that you play.
I'm playing Apex Legends day one and yes, I don't necessarily need Strobing (because OLED at high Hz is enough) but I don't need Strobing to be forced to win a fight.
On the other hand, I played Apex at the first day of it's release and at the first year i play at 1080p/1440p 144hz, I played very badly, already because the first screens I had, have smearing (VA) but also IPS which gave me headache/were too grainy or had either a slow Overdrive mode without Overshoot or a fast Overdrive mode with Overshoot, the famous Dell S2721DGFA, horrible that one.
After jumping to 240hz, the difference was night & day...until i change for new hardware ! i mean, i've had RTX 3070 / I9-10850k (yes i know this cpu for gaming was overkill and an idiot choice lmao) and 240hz even at 1080p were not as smooth, since I changed and had 13600k and 4080 Super in DDR5, by touching the overclock a little, my vision has completely changed, it's like a "cheat", everything responds instantly....except no...I felt restricted why ? > I used the Acer XV272UX 1440p 270hz for 2 and a half years until a few weeks ago when I received the XL2546X, 1080p TN...ew. ..disgusting...at first!!
Because know i literally can't go back, my Acer (270hz anyway and 1440p!) have literally a trash ghosting handling and also a trash strobing mode (with a tones of crosstalk and very low brightness)
I cannot see anything on the Acer while on the Zowie, it's instantaneous, bright in black area, darker things are more pleasant because i don't have this horrible backlight bleed, anyway even at 10/10 my Acer sometimes "black crushed" opponent in dark places, it is just unpleasant and i've tried a LOT of 1440p high hertz, never truly liked one.
I don't play every time with the strobing with the XL2546X but this is also one of the rare monitor that my eyes endure with strobing (i'm sensitive to that basically) maybe because of astygmatism and Myopia that I unfortunately have.
All of that for saying that even at high hertz, having strobing at high hertz can be very useful.
For my use and for now, i've personally don't see better than the XL2546X, don't forget that we all search different things for different use, like, i know certain IPS are "good" but i just didn't like them, anyway i will try another XG2431 again like you, you make me curious about this one, need to try this one on my new PC.
The thing that i've don't like about this monitor is the fact that it is smaller about 1 inch than a BenQ for example and even if it's a small ridiculous difference, i've see that, the coating make me difficult to focus on far distances on big map games ( Apex Legends again ) and i've don't like overall the OSD control menu but, i will give it another try.
