Whoa, no putting words in mouth. First, hold on:
Again --
blur and
blur artifacts are not the same thing.
Blur as in the linear/symmetric blurring (persistence) -- and blur artifacts/asymmetries as in additional ghosts/coronas (GtG inaccuracies).
They do stack and superimpose on each other, e.g. blur artifacts degrade the simple blur.
I easily see simple motion blur (overall symmetric/average motion blur). However, subtle motion blur
artifacts (e.g. asymmetry: ghosting, coronas) can be extremely subtle and different humans are sensitive or insensitive to it depending on how picky they are.
For example, VA panels can look muddy/ghosty when playing dark dungeon games, while excessively-overdriven panels can show strange ghosting/coronas (e.g. dark images, bright images, discolored images, on one side) that deviates from simple linear motion blur.

Big ask! (unless Lexlazootin has done it before) Usually, that's like asking an amateur runner to do a marathon. It's like asking someone to help you with your homework by asking them to take a college course first (almost!) before being able to help you.
Pursuit photography (the proper way to photograph display motion blur: chasing the camera along the motion) isn't stuff that end users usually do -- it's more reviewer-equipment stuff because you often need to purchase a $100 sliding camera rail and mount your camera on top of it. Although some users have made done with the
Sliding Tupperware Technique (basically a camera sitting on top of a container that slides horizontally while chasing the panning motion at
http://www.testufo.com/ghosting ...) or even the hand-waved smartphone (but it's very difficult to get the sync track correctly exposed in the photo). It takes lots of practice to do it properly. However, if readers want to try the pursuit camera, I would prefer that posted photographs
include the SYNC TRACK (the horizontal ladder) to show honesty in the actual photograph -- because it shows proof of accurate camera tracking. Inaccurate pursuit camera creates more motion blur (additional photographic blurring) that's not WYSIWYG display motion blur, so I need to see the sync track to confirm camera-tracking accuracy. Examples of
good and bad sync track photographs (scroll down a bit).
A polite request to yehaw
yehaw, I also need to remind you that not everyone is having your problem. Many Amazon reviews show very happy 240Hz users. 240Hz monitors are not perfect, but they are still great buys in many people's opinion too. Happy users do not post in forums complaining about it. We're entitled to opinions, but there is a boundary of respect that is needed. Imagine a good product somewhere. Even Google Fiber (1 gigabit) forums is full of angry users with problems even if only (1 in 10) or (1 in 100) or (1 in 1000) has big problems). Or say, the forums about your favourite brand of pizza. Or whatever. And your favourite forum for Device X (with 4.5 star rating) will still be full of users complaining about that said device or product or service. As things go, 240Hz monitors tend to be fairly highly rated anyway.
Yet people still complain, like asking people not to buy car brand "X" or avoid that Pizza Place "Y" or whatever. Flaws exist.
yehaw, please be more respectful:
(A) Give substantiated information rather than unsubstantiated
repeated discouraging of people away from 240Hz without proper objectivity.
(B) Consider how big of an ask (favours) you are asking of other readers/forum members.
(C) Consider that Blur Busters is much pickier about motion blur than the average website. That said, information needs to be balanced with all considerations.
