I was starting to litterally feel sick with motion blur, mainly at night, running gta v on ps4. I searched around a lil to see if anyone else was having this issue and sure enough they were. I started messing with a few settings on my tv and here's what worked for me. NOTE: this doesn't mean it will work for you, but it couldn't hurt to try.
All I did was simply (turn off) the Signal noise reduction. This seems to cause an interference pattern making the screen become blurry looking when in motion. Try this out and see if it helps. Good luck!

Ahh yes the noise reduction, my old TV has that option, but I turned it off before to make the picture look sharper.

Sounds like the noise reduction algorithm looks at previous frame(s). It's a shame monitors don't have a clear "no processing" mode to just pass the already-digital image to the screen. One of my older monitors (HP 2310m) utterly lacks a way to not apply some sharpening/blurring to DVI/HDMI signals; the sharpness control has no middle/zero/off setting. I actually use a smaller version of the monitor (2159m) just so I can get neutral sharpness and avoid text looking overly edgy.

Doesnt really apply no, because monitor has no such setting, ;)

Ok, then you definitely don't want strobing on then. As if 60hz strobed flicker (60hz CRT) isn't bad enough, 60hz strobe with 30 FPS....no thanks. And with single strobe set to off, pretty sure you're going to get a quadruple image effect.

As Chief said, I'm really NOT sure why your XL2420TE looks fine on your PS4 with strobing off but the Z monitor looks bad. They're the exact same AU Optronics panel (AUO M240HW01 V8), same panel as the VG248QE. There are some HDMI color format options and display mode settings you can change but I don't see what can affect that. 30 FPS looks rather bad on a LCD anyway...in fact from the video you showed, if that's 30 FPS, that's how it's supposed to look, IMO.

Did you try changing the AMA settings? Maybe you have AMA off or set to premium, try a different setting. Also try instant mode on or off.
I had an LCD TV before, worked fine, slight blur but nothing as extreme as this.
It worked fine on these monitors so far (PS3 that is, 30 fps)

G2220HD

Looks horrible on the Z :/
What was your method to enable Lightboost on the G2400W? I also have a HP S2031 and it would be nice to see if it helps eliminate some blurring.
