Allow convert 60p to 120p, interpolating frames, or adding black frames, enjoy !

I've been looking forward to a 60Hz strobing mode for the XG270 for quite some time as an enthusiastic owner of this monitor, but I'm realize that may not be in ViewSonic's purview at the moment. 60Hz strobing would be amazing for a lot of the video I work with and view. As a content consumer and creator, are there any video players with Black Frame Insertion or video tools that allow transcoding 60fps videos to 120fps videos with BFI?
ffmpeg has a complex command line that can add BFI but don't transcode! That's wrong procedure, wrong workflow. Do direct BFI instead. Add black frames via the player. 1:1 for 120Hz, 2:1 for 180Hz, and 3:1 for 240Hz.
Another hack technique is to display the 60fps video horizontally compressed on the left half of your 120Hz screen, and black on the right half. And use SBS mode of a 3D frame-sequential projector.
For YouTube, it's possible to create a very crude jsfiddle that adds BFI via HTML5 to YouTube:

(Courtesy: Me. Please give Blur Busters a shout-out if you apply software BFI to video embed's. Also, anti-burn-in code has been added to this jsfiddle (occasionally adds 2 black frames instead of 1 full black frame, once every few seconds) to avoid bad interactions with LCD voltage inversion algorithms with BFI)
It's not 100% reliable, and it will erratically flicker in some web browsers, so try both FireFox and Chrome, to see which has the least erratic flicker.
I may create an experimental browser-based BFI video player that accepts a whitelisted video URL (YouTube, VIMEO, Twitch, even a MOV file on web) and applies BFI to the said URL in a universal refresh-rate-autodetecting manner.
Combining 120Hz hardware strobing with 60fps software BFI, creates a pretty good CRT effect for 60fps videos. Works best with 8-bit panels, not 6-bit FRC panels, as it really kills the color depth.
