Edit this part of my last post, 100Hz loop should do with underclocked 200Hz granularity [ 5ms frame + 5ms frame + 5ms black + 5ms black ] @ unfortunately CX currently with [BFI Lag Mode: On]
[ 5ms black + 5ms black + 5ms frame + 5ms frame ]. Owners, send feedback to LG, this expensive TV is supposed to not add any input lag in BFI mode, this fix should be mandatory, especially seeing that LG highlight in marketing low lag gaming. Go go
Notably flicker is part of 60Hz MotionBlur reduced, no matter the tech used, and OLED seems betwen CRT and strobed LCD. Eye allways note brightness variances at 60Hz
, and without these variances, full MotionBlur. Only transform 60FPS content to multiples, using framerate amplification
free of artifacts, can solve this issue.
CRT currently win in flicker smoothness, but with the comet halley at back, with high brightness can reach around ~500ms to completely go from white to black
I tested in my 21" CRT panning space picture with black background and shining stars, and not fun. OLED exchange a bit of flicker to reduce this ugly trail. Current LCD backlight strobing is extremely hard at 60Hz, like CRT at 30Hz according to
RealNC, due to On/Off all backlight at same time, instead of doing smooth rolling scan.
OLED reduced MotionBlur without crosstalk + "if is fixed" not added input lag Vs BFI mode off + now with CX up to BFI 120Hz, is a very good rival for current strobed LCD like Viewsonic XG270, the only noticeably annoying issue is low brightness, but XG270 to get the lowest 100/120Hz crosstalk also reach very low nits.
I prefer cool colors for gaming, i also think in this mode you can win some nits. Unfortunately in short term, seems hard to see a big jump, from C9 to CX nothing improved in Rtings brightness numbers
Maybe only MicroLED can solve this, including BFI with HDR levels, and at the same time decrease burn-in risk. Hopefully this is made real soon, also for PC Monitors !

The CX has decent SDR peak brightness, enough to combat glare in most rooms. It has an Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) that significantly dims the screen when large areas get bright, so that's why the 'Peak 100% Window' and 'Sustained 100% Window' tests result in significantly less brightness.
Like the LG C9 OLED, the CX has a Peak Brightness setting, which changes the way the ABL performs. With this setting turned 'Off', most scenes are between 294 to 308 cd/m², and if the entire screen is bright, the brightness is 166 cd/m².
Turning this setting to 'High', which is what we tested with, makes most scenes brighter, but large areas are less bright.
The measurements were taken post-calibration in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode, with OLED Light to '100' and Peak Brightness to 'High.'
Before calibration, the TV was slightly less bright.
How you have these Brightness/ABL related settings ? In teory, if without BFI can reach 4K 120Hz SDR with 166nits sustained full white, if BFI just insert half time black, should result in ~83nits. Maybe there are one setting to reach a bit more, this ABL is realy annoying. You tested also nits without BFI to see if is like Rtings say ?

since the panel can do 240hz why didn't they offer a 240hz 1080p mode for pc gamers? people would kill for that.
I think is possible add it with firmware update, but:

LG don't fully understand or appreciate gamer-mentality quite yet; they have improved though.
+1 Seeing the input lag error inside BFI loop... not to much gaming aware currently.
If you want me to perform some quick video pursuit tests though (I have a Note 9 with 4k 60 FPS capture capability), just let me know.
If you can upload some day a pursuit 60p video testing 60-100-120Hz would be amazing
