I'm wondering if anybody knows more about this monitor and can tell me whether it has ULMB or not and if it doesn't what type does it have and how good is it.

I been looking at these and I am curious if the Gigabyte monitor is solid option over the these below due to the basic HDR400 it has:

It's called "aim stabilizer" in this monitor. It's a motion blur reduction method using a strobing backlight just like ULMB. They don't call it "ULMB" because that name belongs to nvidia and is how g-sync monitors name their blur reduction method.

Basically, each vendor has their own name for this kind of motion blur reduction. NVidia calls it ULMB, Asus calls it ELMB, Acer calls it VRB, etc. Gigabyte decided to call it Aim Stabilizer.

That's interesting -- Gigabyte's brand.
I'll add the new Gigabyte brand of blur reduction to Motion Blur Reduction FAQ

Personally, I prefer to call it "strobe backlight" rather than "PWM" in the context of motion blur reduction. Although motion blur reduction by strobe backlight -- is essentially precision synchronized one-pulse-per-refresh PWM, too many users confuse PWM with PWM dimming -- with unsynchronized PWM dimming which can be more unpleasant on many of our eyes (due to the serrated motion artifact of PWM dimming). As a result, I reserve mentioning of PWM in the motion blur reduction context for more engineering-based explanations of motion blur reduction, since eye effects behave differently for different humans. My eyes get eyestrain from PWM dimming but not from ULMB.

That's right. Didn't think of that. Edited my post.
