Re: ASUS PG259QN hack for single-strobe ULMB 50 Hz and ULMB 60 Hz

While it's great that workarounds like these still work, that's a 670€ monitor, just to play 60fps games like we used to on CRT or my 10 year old professional NEC VA monitor that's dying (and the resolution is still lower! And I'm sure the asus is less bright!)
The worst part is that I was about to pull the trigger for an LGCX just for it's 60hz to 120hz bfi mode but I found out it doesn't support odd BFI refresh rates like my other monitors can (my MSI ultrawide can strobe as low as a native 75hz to 144hz and any refreshes in between, but they stupidly force the overdrive to the max refresh rate while strobing, creating awful reverse ghosting) so I'm not too sure anymore, that's 1000+€ for some too big TV that can only strobe at 2 rates and only outside of PC mode.
Frustrating.
