144Hz LightBoost

Does LightBoost support 144Hz? Strobelight only lists up to 120Hz strobed.

You can get 144Hz strobing with the BENQ Z-Series. However, strobe crosstalk ghosting is much worse, due to lack of time for LCD pixel GtG transitions to finish in total darkness between refreshes (strobes). If the strobe crosstalk (sharp ghost effect) doesn't bother you, then it can work well for you. This is why NVIDIA does not allow strobing at 144Hz with LightBoost or ULMB.

I recommend 120Hz (or less) when using strobing on any current display.
