Re: Good News Everyone: 60Hz Single Strobe Options

Yes! The level of engineering effort put into the strobing on this Vizio is truly amazing. It's so sad to see that backlight strobing is an afterthought on so many gaming monitors. There are standouts like the XG270, but they almost always have limitations like the lack of 60hz-single-strobing. MPRT on these monitors is also rarely as good as the aforementioned Vizio.
There is good reason why I currently use the 65" Vizio as my primary display. I have spent a quite substantial amount of effort looking for monitors to beat the Vizio in terms of the overall gaming experience with great backlight strobing and picture quality. I have found that unless you are a Esports gamer (in which case you'll want a 240hz+ monitor, obviously), the Vizio is unfortunately very difficult to beat with a monitor, all things considered. Giving up the 4k resolution and 5000:1 contrast ratio for a 1080p display that at best has similar strobe quality and lacks 60hz-single-strobing doesn't make much sense.
The Oculus Quest 2 as mentioned by the Chief Blur Buster looks amazing with 0.3 MPRT! But VR isn't particularly convenient for most use cases. I still believe the P-Quantum X is probably the best non-VR display around for backlight strobing, especially with its massive contrast ratio and 4k resolution. It's large form factor and only decent viewing angles are an understandable turnoff for many though. I'm very excited to see a push for more monitors with 60hz-single-strobing!
