I just learned that Gsync Pulsar is basically the scanning BFI but also with VRR but I don't have any idea about whether it's certification by Nvidia or something else.

Also, I know from a review I posted earlier that P326MV has dumb-ish behaviour in VRR with BFI but IMO that's a trivial problem to solve.
Dyds 2.0 also has intelligent mode and does VRR Rolling Scan
I have no idea if P326MV has 2.0 but if it does then it's half-assed. Really hope they will be doing it better with a firmware update.

Pulsar, for now, appears to be essentially a reference design dictated by Nvidia engineers.

The upside is that Nvidia engineers know what they're doing and I have every confidence it will work pretty much as well as the hardware allows. That doesn't sound like much but compared to what OEMs have been doing, it's a godsend.

The downside is that it's going to be a 27" 1440p360 IPS LCD priced above $600 in 2026.

Interesting video but the translation is not great and I bet they messed up some facts. For example, brightness loss is not due do full screen BFI but due to no headroom in backlight. If Titan Army did not have 1600 nit max brightness they would not be able to maintain brightness with BFI.

Increasing number of beams is fun but I don't think it's possible because of blooming of the backlight zones. You can clearly see in the high FPS video I posted that backlight zones are not well-separated.
Plus I don't know how you are going to transfer the image that quickly, it literally requires 8x the bandwidth if you suggest to use 8 beams.

Either that or some specific GPU-monitor transmission which I never heard of before which is very simple on a computational level but there is clearly no standard for it except maybe splitting a monitor into 8 sub-monitors using DisplayPort + VESA DIsplayID.

Same for meet in the middle beams which you mentioned.

Dyds 1.0 is at 1.5 CRT performance a 15,630Hz; 0.03% higher or 0.05Hz higher than NTSC. Each miniled zone is row-by-row scanning like a CRT it races the beam the moment the pixel is shone the mini-led breaks off at about -64 microseconds. Making it 15 times faster than the sample&hold 1,040Hz ~963mcs Samsung Display.
That's completely incorrect. Backlight driver frequency has nothing to do with motion clarity. There are only two parameters which directly translate into motion clarity: dark ratio and backlight zone separation.
