Keep in mind that not all people want to play at 60hz in 2024.
Strobing or not, everything better than 60hz , that's even the trademark here.
The XG2431 have his proper niche sell thing and it is only good just because some people want a screen for some retro games/fight games, that's all.
Other than that the XG2431 doesn't have the best strobing at 240hz (max refresh rate) at all and doesn't have the best input lag with strobing, XL2586X / PG27AQN for example and some others perform better.
So obviously the XG2431 don't truly beat "DyAc 2" in terms of motion clarity, in certain area of crosstalk ? mmh "maybe" but these monitors are marketed to be 240hz/high hertz (max-refresh rate) monitor and majority will use them normally at max refresh rate whitout any sync or something.
The XL2566K/86x/46x are not perfect don't get me wrong (and they perform poorly at low hertz, sadly for some people) but still "perform" better than other strobing TN or IPS, strobing performance is not only about crosstalk but also latency and brightness.
I've use a XL2546X for a month and i send it back, i've receive my second XG2431 few days ago (i've already tested this monitor 1 year ago) and it's probably the best 1080p 240hz IPS that i've tested, either strobing on or off BUT it perform less well on FPS games (my daily use of FPS games) like Apex or COD than the BenQ XL2546X, black EQ is poor, colors accuracy are better but not pop as the XL2546X because it doesn't have any color vibrance thing and when using strobing, the XG2431 at max refresh rate feels a bit slower in terms of input lag, mouse feeling are a bit slower, not that it would make you lose a fight but it's more pleasant on the BenQ and overall i spot much more easier on the BenQ, the thing is...i send it back just because i use a lot in a desktop usage and obviously...that's a TN and my eyes don't really like it for that
The XG2431 is unusable with the latest/best strobing settings on FPS games because it's simply too dimm...you can't react like on a BenQ, you may ask me to play in a full dark room scenario to see better ? i don't want to because of a screen, i like the sun and even if i do, unfortunately i still see nothing because this monitor have a bad gamma/black equaliser implementation, compared to some other monitors that i have for example, dark is slighlty too dark, that's simply how it is and it's not a good thing for FPS games.
For a Custom QFT 60hz/120hz, i've tried, it's simply disgusting, like, i just can't stand in front on the monitor, i can literally see every strobe per second in front of my eyes, it's too disturbing and not usable for my use, on a FPS games scenario either 60hz or 120hz with best Custom QFT Trick it's just like i said previously...unusable, it's too slow, input lag/latency is clearly too high and honestly i don't really see "better" and i don't play better with these trick like, at all, on a 60hz/120hz retro/solo games...in 60hz it's simple, my eyes can't and in 120hz i still see a little bit of crosstalk so it's not 100% perfect (i've used same parameters as many people and also yours) and i just prefer my 60hz OLED, more blurry but much more beautiful/enjoyable than a small 24inch LCD screen.
Great monitors for his niche market at strobe extreme low hertz but not the best.
