If blur reduction is important to you, then you want this option in your toolbox.
1. You want a blur reduction feature.
They are usually called: ULMB, DyAc, LightBoost(old), MBR, "1ms MPRT", "Blur Reduction"
See Motion Blur Reduction FAQ
2. If you are picky about stutter and double images, you want framerate = refreshrate = stroberate
So get a powerful GPU and/or reduce detail and/or your refresh rate and/or all the above. Enabling blur reduction modes adds tradeoffs like amplified microstuttering and double images in exchange for eliminating motion blur. So to fix that, and get beautiful CRT-like clarity (30fps at 60Hz had double images on CRT), you want full frame rate at least.
Blur reduction does have a very slight lag tradeoff, so to minimize lag of blur reduction (if lag is important), you want to focus on 240Hz blur reduction such as the XL2546 DyAc. Be warned, strobe crosstalk can sometimes be an issue when strobing at 240Hz instead of 120Hz or 144Hz.
If you're simply wanting to enjoy CRT-like motion clarity with good colors instead (and don't care about lag) -- if color quality is important, and you don't mind a little lag, then the newer Samsung CHG70 series are very good for having cake and eating it too (Great colors, great blur reduction) without breaking the bank too excessively. (The older CFG73 is also good, too). These are VA panels with good Samsung-tuned blur reduction.
If you're wanting everything all at once (low lag, good colors, good blur reduction), it starts to cost a lot of money to have cake and eat it too. The upcoming $2000 4K 144Hz GSYNC HDR monitors with their ULMB scanning-backlight feature (which I expect will be lower input lag than more common ULMB strobe backlights) -- but this is ultra cream of the crop stuff that practically demands a 1080Ti/Titan SLI to fully utilize in current games.
Strobe quality:
-- Samsung & NVIDIA are generally experts at strobe tuning; it looks good out of the box but may be inflexible (e.g. limited Hz selection)
-- BenQ ZOWIE is great with Do-It-Yourself strobe tuning via our Blur Buster Strobe Utility. And the 240Hz strobing is available. DyAc is their official "premium" brand of blur reduction, so if you want brighter strobing, get DyAc.
-- Other models are pre-calibrated and sometimes okay, sometimes bad. LG 240Hz strobing is reportedly very good.
