This is not the one with MediaTek's new scaler chip recently advertised?

Can TomsHardware please include this in all their monitor reviews:
How good is the motion clarity compared to CRTs for running older games that only work at 60Hz?

I'm asking because I've heard of only 1 monitor that covers this (ViewSonic XG2431) which got a lot of praise from BlurBusters but many reviewers reported that it causes headaches to use backlight strobing at 60Hz. Nowadays you don't find much variety in actual stores and much of the market is moving online, but I'm not going to risk buying something as expensive as a monitor when I can't even see/test it for myself, especially when stores like Amazon only have a 2-week return period in my country with no warranty at all.

This almost sounds like a love affair 🤔
It would be nice if you gave some kind of idea about how much it cost in the article also.
If it said how much I would have just moved on as it's outside my price range. I could afford it but rather spend it on my kids.
$999.99 is I think more than most people would consider paying for a monitor, some of you probably don't care how much it is though.
Looks lovely but I will wait for the prices to come down quite a bit before I will consider it.

I'd wager an OLED would do just fine in this respect. Your reference point is an IPS instead of an OLED. OLED is like CRT in that pixel response is instant. The big thing about CRTs is they are what a lot of older games were designed for. They simply look better over CRT, and the signal doesn't have to be converted to match. Still, for retro gaming there are options that improve the experience on high-res displays. That's more the barrier to entry than the motion clarity, because you can't do anything to bypass the inherent limits of 60fps.

First, all the monitor reviews I've read here have had links with prices listed. And second there are many reviews of remarkably affordable monitors here.This review is of a pricier one and that's fine.
