When can we expect more BlurBuster 2.0 Monitors?

Ask about motion blur reduction in gaming monitors. Includes ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur), NVIDIA LightBoost, ASUS ELMB, BenQ/Zowie DyAc, ToastyX, black frame insertion (BFI), and now framerate-based motion blur reduction (framegen / LSS / etc).

what a shame it seems Blur Busters monitors are dead.

It would be good if there can be at least one more monitor from blur busters, 1440P, 240 HZ with 300 nits strobe, 60HZ strobe support and a light matte coating possibly glossy.

The G sync pulsar monitors are the true end game but not if you need 60HZ strobe.

Fortunately, despite some hiccups, headaches and outright disappointments in my recent purchases, RTINGS is a fantastic tool to find the best monitor for specific needs.

I'm linking a customized table tool similar to the one I used to pick my monitor. The BFI picture is typically for its highest refresh mode, so do check within the review itself to see if there's a pursuit camera test for the strobing refresh you desire.

Anyway, I went with the PG27AQN (1440p, ULMB2 at 120/144/240/360hz, basic bare-bones 600ish nits HDR, and a semi-gloss coating).
I'm fairly confident it is the current, overall best option when motion clarity takes priority over any other consideration.
Sadly I have had older ULMB 1 monitors that simply did backlight strobing better, without red KSF phosphor trails at fast speed, and could be hacked to work at 60hz, which my newer one cannot.

Very few monitors natively strobe at 60hz, let alone to near-CRT results, so I'm still hoping for a software BFI solution to use in conjunction with ULMB for single strobe 60hz content. Besides that your best bet is an older one hacked via CRU.
Sadly desktop BFI doesn't work on my main rig, perhaps due to the multi-display setup, I don't know.
It works on my laptop (120hz no strobing no VRR) but doesn't seem to always sync well.
In the meantime, for 60fps content, a high-performance double-strobed 120hz image is better than a low-performance single-strobed 60hz image.
