KTC Backlight Strobing Implementation? Best motion clarity on a budget?

Post by Grettys » 02 Dec 2025, 23:05

Hey everyone! I'm kinda a newbie to this whole motion clarity thing but I'm looking for a low motion blur monitor on a low budget, and a lot of these KTC options seem to be decent.

I need opinions if this seems like an okay panel and backlight strobing implementation overall. I'm upgrading from a 165Hz one and am curious if this is a worth it upgrade (currently running G2412, which has 7ms response time, 165hz). Also for context, I think he runs his UFO test at 960PX/s, if that helps. I wanted to go for the XG2431 but I heard of the high failure rate, and its also too expensive so this seems to be the only one that is decent

This KTC you're referring to likely has a fixed duty cycle, which means that only the highest refresh rate mode (highest vertical frequency) will give you the best possible MPRT.
Achievng 300FPS @ 300Hz, across the majority of modern games (UE4 & UE5), is a futile endeavour.

Refer to the displays in my signature below if you want a proper solution.
