LCD's do not work this way. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display They do not emit light; that's why backlights exist. See TFTCentral: How TFT's Work and Wikipedia: LCD.
Removing power from an LCD pixel does not eliminate light. It takes several milliseconds for a pixel to turn "off" by itself. This becomes a problem since a refresh is only a few milliseconds. You have to remove power from the backlight to get even faster response. That is the newer invention for LCD's - precisely synchronized stroboscopic backlight technologies (e.g. scanning backlights).

I created the last two videos; I own a high-speed camera, being Chief Blur Buster. As you can notice, LightBoost makes LCD look like CRT:

Quote: original post (Inu) I can confirm this works on BENQ XL2420TX EDIT: And OMG i can play scout so much better now in TF2, this is borderline cheating.
Quote: original post (TerrorHead) Thanks for this, it really works! Just tried it on my VG278H. Its like a CRT now!
Quote: original post (Vega) Oh my, I just got Skyrim AFK camera spinning (which I used to test LCD's versus the [Sony CRT] FW900) to run without stutters and VSYNC locked to 120. This Benq with Lightboost is just as crystal clear if not clearer than the FW900 motion. I am in awe. More testing tomorrow. Any of my doubts about this Lightboost technology have been vaporized! I've been playing around with this fluid motion on this monitor for like 6-hours straight, that is how impressive it is.
Quote: OCN post (Baxter299) way to go vega enjoyed your review and pics ..thanks for taking the time .got my VG248QE last friday .replacing my fw900 witch is finally taking a rest in my closet .
Quote: OCN post (Romir) Thanks for the timely review Vega. I went ahead and opened mine and WOW, it really does feel like my FW900. I haven't tried a game yet but it's down right eerie seeing 2d text move without going blurry.
The FW900 is a famous 24" widescreen CRT that has been a long-time favourite of CRT die-hards. If you were used to CRT gaming in the past -- and is very sensitive to motion blur -- the motion blur problem has now been fully solved on these LightBoost monitors!
