They still deliver objectively lower input lag than any 144hz monitor, due to the 4,2ms persistence, but that´s it. To me, for the several monitors I have tried, Everything else is worse. Response time/Overdrive, overshoot, grainy image, blur, problems dealing with lower than 220 framerates.
The original unedited is too blanket statement, so fixed that for you in bold.
While there's some teething problems with many 240Hz panels....
Let's cherrypick for a bit.
The best 240Hz monitors is better in ghosting than the some of the worst 144Hz. For example, the Acer GN246HL has worse overshoot than almost all 240Hz monitors. Being Chief Blur Buster, I have seen more monitors than you have, and I see less overshoot on some better 240Hz monitors. Also, some 144Hz monitors only have 3 overdrive settings. The Acer XB252Q blows away Acer GN246HL when it comes to ghosting even when then 240Hz is set to 144Hz. Granted, the old GN246HL was known for its bad ghosting...
Also, many older 144Hz TN monitors have worse inversion artifacts (checkerboard pixel) effect. Most 240Hz monitors blow away my old ASUS VG278H, and the still-popular ASUS VG248QE, which had more visible inversion artifacts.
Next, my ViewSonic XG2530 blows away my older BenQ XL2411Z, XL2420G, XL2720Z in color qualify. The colora are much nicer on the ViewSonic monitor than those BenQs when you want to play punchy-colors gamess.
Also, if you like blur reduction such as ULMB, many 240Hz monitors have much brighter blur reduction than 144Hz monitors, as well as less strobe crosstalk at same Hz (120Hz blur reduction versus 120Hz blur reduction).
Finally, if you are super sensitive to tearing artifacts where they fully distract your brain from concentraton, VSYNC ON tearing 150fps is less visible at 240Hz than at 144Hz. The tearlines flash for only 1/240sec rather than 1/144sec. This is a law of physics that can outweigh ghosting for some people.
There's more, but suffice to say, there is really just no blankettelling people not to buy 240Hz here at Blur Busters. There is just too many pros of 240Hz that satisfies many people. What one guy may get so distracted by ghosting, the next guy may be so distracted by tearing instead.
I know people who are very picky about certain image attributes, and some of them may outweigh other flaws.
