Hello,
I have owned the XG2431 since 2021 and it has been a marvellous monitor, especially for 60 Hz and 120 Hz content using the custom PureXP strobing mode.
Having looked what else is offered on the market as of late 2024, there are no other monitors that offer a low-persistence 60 Hz strobe that the XG2431 offers. There are the upcoming G-SYNC Pulsar displays, but they all seem to use KSF backlights, and I suspect they'll exhibit red trailing artifacts.
Are there plans to create another Blur Busters tuned strobed LCD that supports the strobing utility? I would love a larger 27 inch 1440p display with more strobing headroom.
When will we see a successor to the XG2431?

Re: When will we see a successor to the XG2431?
For me it will have to include:
* Half Rate Strobing because input lag at lower refresh rates is really bad.
* Lower minimum brightness for office work, at least down to 50 nit.

The truth is Chief doesn't have much to work with and covid ruined all his plans.
It could take many years until we see another blur buster monitor this is the reality of it
monitor makers do not see strobing as something that anybody wants or something that is worth it beyond just having a checkbox ticked off with some crap strobing feature.
99.9% of gamers etc do not even know what is strobing is and they don't care about it because they think the blur they experience is just fine and acceptable, then losing out on VRR is another huge issue for pretty much everybody.
Chief managed to pull off the impossible with the XG2431, a crappy 24" 1080p monitor with garbage 200 nit strobing you can't even use it in daylight, and some really nasty hazy grainy matte coating from 2003 that makes you want to gouge your eyes out.
Not his fault he worked with what he could it was either this or nothing.
Luckily I found a way to make this not a total 100% worthless waste of money by overclocking the LED voltage to 275 nits strobe.
If there has to be another blur buster 2.0 monitor it has to be a Fast IPS 1440P 27" either 240 HZ or 280 HZ I see the new generation of Fast IPS are 280 HZ now.
In fact it could still be 1080P 24" come to think of it, just not the nasty hazy matte coating ones and it has to have minimum 300 nit strobing like Zowie monitors. Maybe even an option for VRR with Strobing sure it won't be perfect and may kinda suck but if Blur Buster tunes it I am certain it will be better than the ELMB Sync crap that ASUS puts out
But it's tricky to find a manufacturer willing to do all these things and work with blur buster.
Funny enough the old XG 270 blur buster was superior to the new XG2431 blur buster cause the old one could do 290 nit strobe.
Maybe Chief needs to put in certification it needs to have minimum 300 nit strobe to be blur buster approved, that may just scare away all the manufacturers honestly.
Probably some chinese brand of monitor is willing to do this.
